well, IMHO i wouldn't let my daughter go out with a guy at the age of 12... "is she too young to be on the pill?" you ask. but isn't she too young to have sex first of all?? i don't think she is quite responsible for the consequences of her actions at 12. isn't it possible to talk to her, to persuade her to wait for some time?
of course, the girl's health is of primary comcern in this case. if her body is not fully ready for carrying of pregnancy, how can it be ready for pills? additional hormones can do much harm at this age. u can consult a doctor on the point.
if u it's not anyway possible for you to prevent your daughter's beginning of her sexual life at 12, at least have a serious conversion about contraception with her. what about good condoms?
WTF !? omg 12 ? SHE HAS THE REST OF HER LIFE TO DATE ! get her mind off these sick things . she shouldnt be allowed to date in the first place . .
mature is a word that is getting younger and younger... i think it would be wise to talk to her about sexual deseases and the effects of a young pregnance and how hard it it to be a mother if ur 30 so of course it would be hard at 12.. i have a little sister and just found out that she is havin sex .. she just turned 15.. i dont wanna tell her not to bc then will do it without thinkin just bc its what she wants to do.. instead i tell hher to make wise disition an give her all the advise she needs... if ur daughter want birth control that not to say she will have sex it just protecting her just incase it happens... i think it a little resposible of her to ask u about it instead of just doing it.. what i would do it be honest with her... if u have had bad experiances .. tell her.. if u had good experiances.. tell her... dont let her just find out alone.. for instance i was with a guy once.. i knew him but not well and anyway he placed his hands around my thoat... so i told this to my sister to let her know that there are ppl out there like that... knowin thing that like could help her from gettin in that kinda situation in the first place... im sure she is a beautiful and smart girl... give her the benfit of the doubt....
try to have a good long conversation with her to figure out why she wants to have sex in the first place. maybe it's the influence of her bf, especially if he is older. i think that a good and honest talk may solve it all. if it doesn't, buy her condoms. the pill may mess up her body...
I think you should put her on the pill .. If she is out having sex already she needs to be protected .. But if she wants to have sex and be on the pill you should tell her everything she would need to know about them .. Like how birth control pills increase the risk of cervical cancer, and because of that reason she will have to get annual pap tests .. but i guess if she is ready to have intercourse she would be ready to have a doctor not only look at her vagina but also pry it apart and swab it .. But i strongly recommend that she also use condom because of STD's .. I think it is nearly impossible to have a monogamous relationship at 13. I wouldn't trust the word of a 13 year old boy either .. And aids is fairly rampant in the world today .. Maybe you should make her watch the movie "Kids" ..
She is not too young to go on the pill. That does not imply that she is old enough to have sex, but if she has she it is a catastrophe if she get pregnant. Some girls have sex in that age, and your daughter obviously may has sex.

If she talks about sex, join her. Be honest and tell her what you think, but emphasise that these are your personal oppinions. This way she do not feel that your way of thinking is forced up on her, and the chance of influence her is bigger. She also gets the feeling of makeing her own mind up. This increase her level of self-confidece. That will be very useful when she is to say yes or no to a boyfriend that wants to sleep with her.

12 years old girls think about sex, so it is good that they talk about it. That helps them to form opinions about it.
at least shes talking to you about sex, she could be out there experimenting for herself. you now have the opportunity to steer her in the right direction and give her good advise
are you fucking serious of course its not normal you imbecile jesus christ
even at 18 i was nervous about sex.. Kids these days have sure gotten younger and younger and need to be taught a lesson properly. At 12 they shouldn't even be considering sex.
ODD AS IT MAY SEEM PEOPLE IN MY CLASS WERE TALKING ABOUT SEX AT 12.
BOTTOMLINE......I SAY PUT HER ON THE PILL BECUASE ID RATHER HAVE A KID THATS NOT A VIRGIN THAN PREGNANT.
Yes she is too young and you need to be a father and put an end to this today. I can't believe you are even asking this.
I have a friend whos a girl who lost her virginity at 12 and she doesnt regret it. I think the main thing was that she was very mature about it and as long as your daughter is and she is 100% sure then you should just give her all the advice on sex you can and hope she makes the decision that is right for her.
omg, lots of kids have "boyfriends when they're 12, don't put her on the pill, she's far too young. As long as she knows the risks and the stupidity of losing her virginity too young, there is no need to make her take such an affecting pill
I dont see the harm in talking to her about sex, she is young but just because she's curious doesnt mean she's going to act on it. I'd much rather aware her of what can happen then keep her hidden from it all and her finding out on her own. But putting her on the pill at the age of 12 is way too young.. If your still worried about it in 2 years thne I'd say its time for the pill.
Good she is talking. She trusts you. Listen. Be supportive. Ask her if she is thinking of doing anything? Does she feel pressured?

There is so much for her to learn about relationships and she has come to you.

So the question I have is are you uncomfortable with that? I wonder if you are jumping to conclusions about putting her on the pill? Though I definitely appreciate your concern.

How about making an appointment together with your family doctor or a nurse educator. Talk about it with them. It will help her understand that sex is also a health issue, and what to do when she may need to.
I agree that it is better to be safe than sorry, but at 12, she shouldn't be thinking about these things. If she is, then she is lacking something more substantial in her life. You really need to talk to her to see what she is missing and try to fix that first. Maybe she feels as if she needs more attention or something. Take it from someone who started having sex at an early age as well. It's not a good thing, emotionally. You may be able to get her to prevent pregnancy or disease by talking to her, but you cannot repair the damage that will be done to her self esteem once she starts having sex, at least at this age. She really needs to be older and more emotionally mature to make this decision. She is not ready for this.
If she dosnt learn this stuff theoretically she will try and discover practically and end up in a bad situation, i say tell her the base line of everything and explaine the consequences of her actions and before putting her on the pill ask her if she wants to be sexually active, the more you keep from them the more they want to discover, alot of the time ending bad
I got prenant at 14. I'm now 21. My mom wouldnt get me on birth control. I ended up preg 3 months later. If she is active she wont stop. Please let her get the pills.Be her friend an tell her everything she needes to know. Dont agree with him coming to your house though. My mom got in alot of trouble for that. Hope it helps ;)
