What to do with a teenager who is having sex?

Bernadette Roel: Sorry, but if she knows about STD's, HIV, and AIDs and Still doesn't care, there isn't much you can do. Setting her up with plan parenthood is a good idea, if she goes. The only thing I would tell her that no one else will is protected sex isn't messy, while unprotected is. Most teens don't know that. No one wants that on there clothes, so have protective sex to stay clean.

Garrett Detone: TY MUGSIE and MIA :)

Pasty Cobbett: A lot of good info and excellent resources can be found at this site [Healthy Teen Network], look under the ‘Research & Resources’ tab in the sidebar.http://www.healthyteennetwork.org/Also excellent info here http://www.thenationalcampaign.org/default.aspx along with articles, blogs, resources etc, and some videos. They also have DVD’s you can purchase which are designed to educate, for e.g., the DVD ‘Too Young’; teen parents from a variety of backgrounds share their compelling stories â€" in their own words - m! ake clear that teen pregnancy is closely linked to a host of other problems for teens and their babies â€" including welfare dependency, health problems, absent fathers, educational failure, and more. ‘Young Women’s Health’ is a good site for your sister to peruse, specifically in the ‘Sexuality & Health’ section; articles on the various STDs, different types of contraceptives, on abstinence, and more. It is teen friendly. http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/I would also suggest that you try to get an adult involved that lives close to her, someone she trusts [or would trust] that she would be willing to talk too; such as a school counselor, family physician, an Aunt or cousin [that will maintain her confidence] for e.g. â€" of course a parent is the number one choice, however, as you noted that is not an option unfortunately. That way you are not the only one trying to educate her, help her understand the consequences are very real, risks are very high, etc, nor! the only one giving her support, showing you care. During ti! mes she is not staying with you she will still have an adult she can talk with, face to face when she wants/needs. She obviously doesn’t understand that abortion is not a form of birth control, nor the mental & emotional impact it has, nor that there are risks involved and what those risks are. Same goes for STDs. Putting her on the pill ASAP is a good idea, but she needs to know & accept that a condom is also a ‘must’, she still needs to protect herself from STDs [and that, while this is a very good combo they are still not foolproof, condoms can & do break and the pill is not 100%]. Good luck to you, I hope you can get through to her and she changes her way of thinking pronto, starts protecting herself [if she can’t abstain] before it is too late. She is lucky to have such a great sister, who obviously cares very deeply for her....Show more

Queenie Ruthers: All i can say is i got this project chat ppl at school and they helped me understand the goo! d and the bad of having sex.they might have a website. but you can look online. just look on google, find websites with info, and pictures of std's. Sex isnt a bad thing. its a good thing, but may come with bad things like STD'S bad reputation. just make sure you use condoms, and your on birth- control....Show more

Toney Flaten: http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/so-uh-this-is-stepha...

Cornelius Thornborrow: I would say take her to your local clinic or family doctor and tell them to give it to her straight. Places like Planned Parenthood and some other clinics will put a positive spin on sex and teen pregnancy and even abortion. I have seen it. Tell her that abortion will make her feel empty and sick inside for years. It's something that she will regret the rest of her life. I know that a young person can't really grasp that very well, but it is something that will eat you up. I didn't like Juno because it didn't really show how grave a thing like teen pregnancy can! be. Especially abortion. You could tell her that having a baby as a te! en will really screw up your body, permanently since you're still growing.I would say keep her super busy, so that she barely has time to go to the bathroom let alone have sex. Find a book that has some graphic pictures of every welt, sore and rash you can get as a result. And, get her on some birth control; the Depo shot....Show more

Merna Fauset: I would talk to your mom and have your mom take her to the doctors.

Lewis Ranft: tell her all the bad things that might happen and then show her all the bad stds ar hiv she could get

Nicolasa Henke: well, she looks very happyand in the first two, he is touching her b00b and in the last one he has a b0ner and they're looking at it... very innap.

Jesse Pirieda: this photo is fake, so is yur mom

Basil Blasingame: i think you should go to a doctor as soon as possible i think it may be insomnia there are many others tooyou probably dont do alot of these causes:Non-pharmacologic or non-medical therapies ar! e sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, stimulus control, and sleep restriction. These also referred to as cognitive behavioral therapies.Sleep hygieneSleep hygiene is one of the components of behavioral therapy for insomnia. Several simple steps can be taken to improve a patient's sleep quality and quantity. These steps include: Sleep as much as you need to feel rested; do not oversleep.Exercise regularly at least 20 minutes daily, ideally 4-5 hours before your bedtime.Avoid forcing yourself to sleep.Keep a regular sleep and awakening schedule.Do not drink caffeinated beverages later than the afternoon (tea, coffee, soft drinks etc.) Avoid "night caps," (alcoholic drinks prior to going to bed).Do not smoke, especially in the evening.Do not go to bed hungry.Adjust the environment in the room (lights, temperature, noise, etc.)Do not go to bed with your worries; try to resolve them before going to bed. Relaxation therapyRelaxation therapy involves measures such as meditation and! muscle relaxation or dimming the lights and playing soothing music pri! or to going to bed. Stimulus controlStimulus control therapy also consists of a few simple steps that may help patients with chronic insomnia. Go to bed when you feel sleepy.Do not watch TV, read, eat, or worry in bed. Your bed should be used only for sleep and sexual activity.If you do not fall asleep 30 minutes after going to bed, get up and go to another room and resume your relaxation techniques.Set your alarm clock to get up at a certain time each morning, even on weekends. Do not oversleep.Avoid taking long naps in the daytime. Sleep restrictionRestricting your time in bed only to sleep may improve your quality of sleep. This therapy is called sleep restriction. It is achieved by averaging the time in bed that the patient spends only sleeping. Rigid bedtime and rise time are set, and patient is forced to get up even if they feel sleepy. This may help the patient sleep better the next night because of the sleep deprivation for the previous night. Sleep restriction has ! been helpful in some cases bit long sorry!....Show more

Claude Gloden: She has seen child birth and that's why she thinks abortion is the way to go in case she does get preggers. I am setting her up with a consult at Planned Parenthood, and hope to have her on BC.The womens shelter and abortion clinic tours are great suggestions. I will also look into websites with grusome pix....Show more

Coleman Petropoulos: juno, but maybe u should get a doctor or some 1 that nos exzactly wat will hapeen if u do that un protectively so shel understand the best

Corrinne Ruozzo: birth control time?

Lourie Mcroberts: Juno is an excellent movie about teen pregnancy - get her to watch that. The line in the film about how the foetus "already has fingernails" would be enough to put anyone off an abortion.Also the film " Kids" shows what can heppen with STDs and unprotected sex.

Lorine Helwick: Uh yes.. very inappropriate!

Gregory Dilg: You should try having ! an erratic as mine sleeping pattern, can never wake up no matter how ma! ny alarms I set or people I tell to wake me, changes all the time, feel tired constantly.. yours sounds heavenly lol

Solomon Belback: There's a film called "Kids"... it may have been banned now but you can still find it quite easily, even if it's just on YouTube. It's about a girl who gets HIV/AIDS after sleeping with her best friend. Puts you off quite badly...But also the "Centre for Bioethical Reform" website (google it and it's the first one) has one VERY rough video that really, really put me off abortion after making me feel sick...

Virgil Menefee: You could show her all the movies in the world with graphics an d she will just see them as "make believe".Just have a one to one conversation with her. MInd you while you are doing this, she is reading your body langauge and tone of voice. So she needs to see that you are speaking out of love and not being judgemental. Most times they think you are not having it so good in life and so wants to prevent them ! from "enjoying" life.speak with her on the cons of sex at that age using real life examples you know, and let her see good things she could be doing with her life instead.Usually they act like they ar not listening but once the messahe sinks , they start thinkinh twice about their decision....Show more

Spencer Heidtbrink: Ugh I hate when that happens!!! i do that sometimes, and the same thing happens to me. I just drink a bunch of coffee in the morning. Also, sports actually wakes you up when you participate in them (got that from health class) so thats a plus. Just eat a good breakfast in the morning if that happens.whoa some people said it may be insomnia. I really doubt it's insomnia. I already got checked for that and they said I didn't have a sleep issue, and then they gave me a list of stuff not to do....Show more

Idell Syed: Give her Birth control and tell her to have the guy use a condom to avoid pregnancy and STDs.

Rodrigo Pezley: Show her pics of! aborted babies and tell her that could've been her. Show her pics of s! td's then tell her that could be her.

Noah Deni: you can google search and get some VERY graphic pictures of STDs. Also, let her know that an abortion should be used as a last result, and if she is going to be mature enough to havve sex she should be responsible enough to be on the pill and to use condoms

Pattie Vold: wow...well there is something you can do...you can always get information on the internet...there are books..and for your sake buy her condoms...if she doesnt want to you should give them to her...have a nice clean talk with her and you know use a friend for example

Granville Stray: Show her pics of std's, and at planning parenthood, you can set her up with people who have had abortions that feel horrible about it.....Also you need to show her that she can't just run and get an abortion every time she gets preggo, Also she needs to wake up nd realize that sex is about love, and sharing it with some one who you want to spend the rest of your ! life with. Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2 years and I think I am going to do it with him. If she is just doing it for fun then that is not smart..Just tell her facts and I don't think that parents would work because if your parents are anything like my dad then they support it...but you should still make them aware that she is not being safe.....Show more

Deangelo Marchak: get her on birth controll and show her pictures of std's :)

Teodoro Lamond: Dj...I just finished watching the video on CBER..OMG, thank you so much. I bout lost my lunch so I'm hoping it will do the same to my sister.

Jamika Gregorio: Abortion is not the answer to a stupid teenager having unprotected sex, you are the one that has controll over her because you have custody, get her on birth control and knowing that the birth control is not 100% accurate and there is still a chance of her getting pregnant theres nothing you can do and if it does happen do not allow her to ge! t an abortion theres better things to look into like adoption. If she w! ants to have unprotected sex then if she gets prego shes the one that has to go through it all, like the labor and all that. To make sure she doesnt have unprotected sex take her to an aids clinic and have people that actually have aids talk to her and tell her the consequences....Show more

Nikita Schroepfer: i'm 15 and i've always counted how many hours i sleep and i kind obsess about it. lately i've been feeling really tired everyday, and i've been getting about 8 hours the last few days, but feel like it's not enough for me.so last night i went to sleep at 9:30 because i wanted to sleep a lot, and i set my alarm for 6:30 am. i ended up waking up at 4 am and i never feel back asleep. i just laid in bed with my eyes closed for 2 hours. so i got up at 6 am.i'm SOOOO upset that i didn't sleep much! does laying in bed with my eyes closed count? i'm so exhausted now, plus i have sports practice after school...Show more

Kara Tabian: movie on child birth

Luana ! Carothers: If you are still on your active pills now, you're not going to GET a period until you're done with them. Have you even reached the placebo/pill-free week yet? If you haven't, you're seriously jumping to conclusions. The pills control when you get your "period", not the calendar.If you got pregnant in March, you're not exactly "early in pregnancy", you're at least six weeks. If you had a negative test in the last few days, I doubt you're pregnant....Show more

Madlyn Fallis: Chances are, we don't know either.

Ervin Laeger: Tell her to take the Parenting class at her school.About the abortion thing, send her to a church thatfeels very strong about it. They may change her mind.Or just tell her that an abortion is not an option if shegets pregnant. So that way she'll want to be on BC orhave condoms. Tell her if she messes up she has to keepthe child....Show more

Clay Lipira: One of my co-worker found a medical book with pictures of STD's infecting a ! persons privates. She photo copied them and gave them to her kid. Have! her watch a movie with someone that has AIDS such as "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks. There is a web site that show VERY graphic pictures and videos of abortions. They also have a box truck that drives around my state showing pics of aborted babies. It's enough to make anyone bawl. Google this: Center for Bioethical ReformYou should find their website. Good luck....Show more

Arlen Hamper: you people are disgusting ... I mean, have you ever seen a parent kiss their child in the mouth before? never? well I agree though, its disgusting

Otto Lingafelt: Talking to my mom is not an option. My mom will have her a ss as well as mine. I know it sounds mean to say but my mom is not a nice person. My sister only has me to rely on and I'm 1900 miles away. I'm trying to do what I can when she is in my 'custody'.

Scot Sepulbeda: i dont think showing her or telling her anything will make much of a difference, i think that youre going to have to use some tough love and te! ll your parents.

Demetrius Coaster: In public, a little, yes... but i can understand that they are just mother and son...

Ninfa Aronica: haha ew! it's very inappropriate!

Florencia Manolakis: I can put her on BC and supply her condoms and watch her like a hawk....but I only have her about 2 months out of the year, so what to do with the other 10 months. I can't fit for full-custody since my parents are "un-fit".

Marhta Teahan: Take her in and get her started on B/C and condom use. You cannot stop her from doing what she is doing BUT you can make it a whole, whole lot less convenient. Keeping her home a lot might be a key to changing her attitudes. Take the cell phone, tell her as long as she persists in being stupid she will not have it. Do the same with IPOD or any other toy including Email. Tell her that when she is agreeable to using good reliable birthcontrol and condoms then she can get the stuff back. Be FIRM with her. Not mean.Check with h! ealth department on movies.....Show more

Dannie Briseno: Take her! to the baby ward at a hospital to let her volunteer. Say "This is what you will have to deal with 24/7 if you continue your life style this way." Then get her on the pill and get her condoms to protect about STDs. You can't make her stop having sex, but you can educate her about her options when it comes to sex.

Nilda Bafia: ew

Margart Stimpert: i don't have trouble falling asleep at first. it's just that sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and never fall back asleep

Coleman Deliberato: You could just tell her that she can get pregnant. I didn't have to watch a movie to learn that...

Madie Strople: Look up the procedure for abortion and then explain every disgusting detail to her! As far as her having sex, that's most likely not gonna change no matter what anyone says, so she needs to get on the pill or other form of birth control. The problem with teenagers is that some of them develop a devil may care attitude, and don't want to unde! rstand the consequences of their actions. But she'll learn, one way or another.

Joan Stavropoulos: Last month in March I ran out of my birth control and I had unprotected sex. And I went and got more so I am on it right now. Now in April I didn't have my period. Tomorrow is the beginning of May and I still haven't had it. I took some test but the came out negative but i still think i am pregnant. I heard some times when your pregnant in the beginning of the pregnancy your hormone levels are too low to show up on the test. I've gained a few pound since i went and got more birth control.I am going to the doctors tomorrow too. what do you guys think?...Show more

Seema Hosfeld: Uhh, he totally has a b0ner XD

Lashawnda Anteby: Take her to a woman's shelter, A maternity ward, an abortion clinic.

Melvina Bieri: The best movie that I can tell you to show her is "Bastard Out of Carolina." In this movie a girl has a daughter at a young age, but the father di! ed, so she had to raise the baby alone. Then the mom started dating aga! in and had another daughter. the father stayed, but kept beating the oldest. The movie shows just how cruel some people can be and unfortunately, it's the truth. WARNING: the movie has some VERY graphic parts and may make one afraid to have sex.I can't recommend Juno because it's one of those uplifting movies that gives you the impression that it's no big deal and nobody will judge you after you're pregnant, which obviously isn't true.The only other thing that I can think to do is talk to her. Make her listen, don't make her talk. Good luck....Show more

Robin Marchione: damn!i wish my mom was that hot

Joey Mekeel: you an look for any pics and information that can show the wost of getting pregnant at 16 and std's

Lia Argall: lock her in a cage-- she is going to do what she wants, she is a teenager and will only learn the hard way.

Avis Brantner: O_O ya totally inapropriate
