[quote=Anonymous]I think it's likely she has heard from peers that they are having sex, they may have made her feel like she's the only one who isn't, and that pressure is weighing on her.

It's also possible that she is just having normal sexual feelings and thinks it would be a good idea to act on them.  It's not just boys who feel that urge starting at puberty.

I would talk with her about possible scenarios that can and do happen when you become sexually active at her age, such as pregnancy and all the angst and hard decisions that involves, STDs which are so prevalent these days and how some of them are for life, affect on her reputation among other teens and also adults who are important to her, etc. etc.  Not a lecture, a conversation, with her inputting her thoughts and feelings on each topic.

You can't stop her from experimenting with sex if she is really determined, so your goal is to make sure she has all the info she should have before she makes that decision.  Hopefully it will cause her to hold off for at least a few years.[/quote]
