I was 14 when I first had sex. I had no preparation at all to know and deal with all the emotions and feelings I had..and really ran out and did it with my first 'real' boyfriend. I honestly feel though, that yes while its wonderful to be able to talk to our daughters about the options that will protect her..id much rather know that she is respecting herself, knowing that we are there for her, not condoning immature sex but not burying our heads in the sand either, encouraging her to make responsible choices so she doesnt have regret and live with the consequences of that.
