Question
I have a 14 yo daughter who i think i would like to have her on birth control as i think she may be getting sexually active. Do you have advice as to what might be the best type? She does not currently have a regular boy friend or partner.
Dear Kate,
I don't recommend that you put your daughter on birth control. Can you talk to her and see if she is sexually active? Do you have a good relationship? Statistics show that young girls who are on birth control will be more sexually active. I just saw that you said that she does not have a regular boyfriend so why do you think she is getting sexually active? Just some questions to consider...
I definitely think that 14 years old is way too young to be having sex so can you talk to her about this? I would like you to email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more privately.
In the meantime, here are a few websites I like.
