My 15 yo dd is sexually active with her boyfriend of over one year. She absolutely denied she was having sex, even tho I knew in my gut she was (always listen to your intuition.) Finally she could deny it no more when I found a used condom in her room (she'd snuck him in her window, while I slept.) All I could think is what responsible kids, thank goodness they were using condoms!!!!!!!! She said she had denied it because she didn't want me to think she was *bad*. So I try very hard not to judge or condem her for being sexually active, even tho I HATE IT!!
I did not want to accept her being sexually active but had no choice. IMO, once a teen starts having sex you pretty much can't stop it. So we went to they gyn and got her on the patch. Yet I explained that you MUST still ALWAYS use a condem, even if your on any form of bc.
You sound like a great aunt. I wish someone had come to me and told me all this. My mom ignored the situation. I became sexually active at 14, pg at 16, had a baby at 17. And it was not the best thing to happen to me, I was soooo immature and not ready for motherhood it makes me sad.
Try not to feel offended by other's advise, I believe they are really just trying to help.

) if they haven't already. Tell her that you will support her, that it is her decision, and that you will help her to get on any BC that she chooses. She does sound responsible for coming from a messed up, and confused family right now. That must be hard for her 
My lil sister is 18 now, and I have no idea if she is active. I have told her that she Can come to me and I will help her get on BC if she wants. She told my mom I said that, and now I am a horrible sinner (oh, and I stopped going to thier church 
). Education is the key, and hopefully someone at school is teaching her about it.
