I understand your pain Mom; however, your "baby girl" is a young woman who is sexually active now. These are the statistics for teen sex today: Students who have had intercourse in highschool: 40% of ninth graders 47% of tenth graders 57% of eleventh graders 72% of twelvth graders Keep the lines of communication open. You cannot "regulate" your daughter's sex life. If you try, you will be fighting a losing battle. They will sneak around and find places to "do it." Encourage your daughter to have a female exam, Pap, and testing for STDs because that is the responsible thing ALL sexually active people should do today - not because she is "bad" or needs to be "taught a lesson about the seriousness of her actions." Trust that you have done a good job in raising her. Continue to be there for her. Lilly
