[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone is making this a bigger deal than it is. When I was 17, I would have gotten an abortion with zero hesitation and moved on with my life. I wouldn’t have felt guilty or traumatized, just relief that I wasn’t stuck with a baby that young. It’s way different now at 35, I would likely need some sort of therapy since it would be a much heavier decision.

I don’t get the need for all these discussions either. Maybe she missed a pill, most women do at some point. It happens. Ask if she wants to switch to Depo or an IUD, then drop it. Pushing her to talk about her sex life or relationship with her BF is going to be mortifying for her and won’t help anything. [/quote]

No 17 year old needs to be having unprotected sex. I’m sorry, but after a pregnancy we would be having the condom discussion (again).[/quote]

Yeah, condom talk is 100% necessary. I feel like girls in college pretty much accept this - for disease as well as pregnancy prevention. Your daughter being in a long-term relationship actually works against her in this regard.[/quote]

+1. Condoms are a must. HS love may be sweet but it’s often not mature enough to understand monogamous commitment. STDs are absolutely something to worry about. Boyfriend seems careless and she has no idea to what extent[/quote]

100%. Condoms always. Personally, I was on BC from 17, had sex at 20, and didn't have condomless sex until 27 with my now husband. And I had some (condom! ALWAYS!) hookups in between. I'm pretty liberal with eyes wide 7open but I am very firm that teens don't need to experience condomless sex. Condoms should be the norm for them in HS and college. [/quote]
