Perhaps all you can say to her is, "At this point, I've given you all the facts I can think of, and we've had lots of talks. You might not be comfortable talking to me about your own thoughts, feelings and choices. But, I want you to know that if you do want to talk to me, I won't pass judgment, I won't be angry--I'll just continue to give you the same factual advice I always have--because I love you."

i always hate it when my mom start talking about sex. Sex is a topic to discuss with my friends. Don't try. And I can't ask too many questions either, because then my mom will think that I want to have sex when i asked her the tricks for perfect blo-w job.

Well i am 20 and i only recently started having sex a year ago because i believed sex was something i wanted to to with the right person...and i think my mother helped me alot in my teenage years by talking to me but not making me feel weird and uncomfortable...she was straight forward and let me ask questions...and she never told me NOT to have sex...she always told me that if i ever felt like i needed to express myself in that way then please come to her and let her know...and she wouldnt get mad...but she would help me get on birth control if that is what i truly wanted to do...and i think that having the decision in my hands made it a lot easier to say NO when i was put in compromising situtations...because as u know teens seem to do the things their parents specifically tell them not to...so I think that when my mother gave me the choice to make my own decision about sex...i thought about it and weighed the options in my mind, and always came to the conclusion that I want my first tiem to mean something...and it did..and i am now married to my 1st.

Depends on your relationship with your daughter. Chances are she already knows something about sex so I would sit down with her and ask her what she knows and elaborate on that. It would have been more comfortable for both of you if you would have talked to her at a younger age.

well im 17 not quite 16 but close enough, when me and my mom started talking about it it was freaky and weird, but if you put some messed up situations of your own in the talk or jokes it lowers the weirdness. Like my mom said stuff like as long as they aint no dirty boys cause i aint having no dirty grandbabies and just litle jokes lower the tension! so its gonna be wird but we kind of expect this stuff and no talk in front of friends and do it soon before she gets an std or pregnant trust me im glad my mom caught me early i dont want anything groce like that!!!

i have a 15 year old son , he has a g/f and i spoke with him about sex many times . u need to be open with your child so he or she can trust u and come to you for advice i speak with him about it always it doesnt bother him and he tells me things and ask my advice on such matters , it is imoprtent to have that with ur child , well first how it started i made him watch a lifetime movie with me , i think it was called " pregnant at 15 " he didnt want to watch it with me , so i promised him a game he wanted if he watched . well belive it or not he was hooked till the end and he later told me that he and his g/f wanted to wait till marrage, for now he wants to just enjoy high school and have fun with his freinds , and i always remind him in a very joking way about sex that his to young .

Just sit her down and make it interesting. Dont lecture her because if u happen to mention sex to her again, she might feel awkward about talking to you about it. That's how I was with my mother.

This will probably not be a comfortable conversation ever. There are great resources out there that will help you.
