[quote=Anonymous]Make sure they have access to birth control and accurate info about STDs. I would also have a conversation about how damaging the concept of “virginity” is. It’s not a slippery slope, like now that they have “lost” their virginity (what a stupid concept) they have to continue to be sexually active. If at any point they think they might need a break from it, they can stop. Having sex with one boyfriend doesn’t mean anything about what she should do with the next. So much of the way we talk about sexuality to children makes it seem like a one-way progression, and I think that’s harmful. I would also drive home that you don’t see having sex as bad, or that the person is now different in some way, more just that it is a behavior with serious consequences and you want them to monitor how they’re feeling about it and be equipped to stay safe, be empowered, and get help with any aspect as needed.
