[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm so glad you are looking into this for your daughter. This is a great way to teach her that her body is hers and hers alone.

The other posters telling you to control her are just setting her up to have others also try to control her sexuality. Sex is part of life - and should be treated as such, with care and caution. We focus on consent, trust, caution (birth control methods and safety) and yes pleasure, with our daughter. I want her to have a healthy approach to sex for her full life. This hasn't made her "promiscuous", [b]instead she is thoughtful about her relationships[/b], which is what I would want for her...but at the end of the day, it's not my body. [/quote]

She is 14.  You have no idea is this was a "thoughtful" decision about her relationship.  This is a middle-schooler.  I highly doubt the decision to have sex was a cognitive one.

With that said, of course this doesn't make her a bad person, or promiscuous and no one has said as such.  But, there is no way to look at this as a good decision on her part.  Having sex at 14 is a mistake, plan and simple.  All teens make mistakes, but mom needs to address both birth control and mistake of choosing to have sex at such a young age, and how to move forward from here.[/quote]
