See Doctor Now: Being sexually active at any age requires responsible actions to avoid pregnancy and STI's. Your responses to your daughter now will be no different from all the things you have taught so far. Talk calmly, discuss consequences of pregnancy/STI's. Being sexually active now means take responsibility now. See doctor for contraception, get the HPV vaccine. You are your daughter's best role model.
