[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can agree to disagree. While she doesn't shame them, she just distances herself. I think it's great that she's learning how to select friends according to her value system.

And, no matter what women like to pretend, having sex IS a big deal and our self worth IS tied to who we are intimate with. We can pretend that we are sexually liberated all we want, but it's all bullshit. [/quote]

NP here.  Of course we all become closer to people who share certain values with us.  But I see your DD's behavior as an adolescent phase, which I hope she'll grow through.  If we distance ourselves from everybody who makes different choices from us, our lives will start to look sad.  Why stop at sexual activity?  She could distance herself from people of the other political party, or who don't eat the same diet as hers, who don't make the same choices with their education or career, or - later in life - people who parent differently.  Once your DD is secure enough in her values and sense of self, she should be able to go about her life without keeping those friends at arms length.

Someone who agrees generally with your views on teen sex
