How do I talk to my 15 year old about sex? purity? and sexually transmitted diseases in a way that won't make her tune me out?

Here are a couple of things that may help from a mom of teenagers. 1. If you talk with her about sex she will probably be "grossed out" and only hear blah blah blah blah blah - so talk with her about stories you have read on the internet and ask her what she thinks about those situations.

Don't make it about her ( at first ). Here is the article about the young girl who committed suicide over sexting a picture to her boyfriend. msnbc.msn.com/id/29546030/ 2.

A recent study showed that kids were more like to open up and talk to their parents when they were playing video games together. The parents that participated in their kids activities where more likely to be able to have those conversations that mattered with their kids. In my personal experience, it usually takes about 30 minutes before my kids get to a point where the conversation gets 'personal'.

So, play games with your daughter - let her pick the game - it might be laser tag - then you can talk in the car on the way home but you'll have that time. 3. When you do have those serious discussions don't make them vague or distant.

Most kids think stds, pregnancy or any other side effects will happen to them - they are invincible - so talk very specifically what it means if she gets an std - what it will feel like, what doctor appointments she'll have to go to - what will happen if she doesn't go to the doctor. Factors that she may have to live with the rest of her life. My husband talked with my boys and at first started by asking them what they wanted to do with their lives.

Then he had them imagine how different their lives would be if they were taking care of a wife and a child at the age of 18. What their lives would be like if they were dealing with an std that never goes away. Then he talked with them about respecting women and having respect for themselves.4.

One other tool I heard a parent use was having their daughter get a clear picture in her mind just exactly how far she was willing to go with her boyfriend before she became uncomfortable. If she has a clear picture in her mind before the situation arises then it will be much easier for her to stay in control when the situation gets heated. ========================= What ever you do - you have to have that conversation - the stakes are too high these days.

Kids have to know about respect for themselves, their friends and their families. And if they don't believe you then just show her the picture of Jesse Logan again who was such a beautiful girl and lived too short of a life and how you would never ever ever ever want something like that to happen to your daughter. ======================== 5.

Have her make a promise to you that she would come to you before it ever got that far. ( Having a child make a promise to a parent can be a very strong deterent ). Good Luck!

Be real. Dont' try to take the moral high ground. Becasue if she has sex, thats how she's going nto have to deal with it.

Explain the pros: It feels really good. It can make an ALREADY intimate relationship even better. At the right time, it makes kids.

And the cons: You can feel like you've been used. Pregnancy is NOT fun, especially when you're not ready for it. STD - Sexually Transmitted Disease|STD's suck, so protection is a must.

Sex will not SOLVE relationship problems, and if someone hints that sex is a requisite for their affection, tell her that that's just wrong, and to break it off. Above all, remind her that you'll love her, no matter what she chooses. Acknowledge that if she does decide to have sex, that's her choice, and you can't stop her (because, well, you can't; kids will find a way).

But caution her that 15 is young, and no matter what her friends are doing, her body is HERS and not subject to the pressures of her female peers, or her male ones.

It really depends on the relationship you already have with her. Have you attempted this discussion before? At 15, it's better late than never, but 11 or 12 is, unfortunately, when the discussions should start these days.

All of the above suggestions are excellent, but I would add that having a third-party friend or relative for your daughter to confide in is important. If you know an 18-20 year-old that you trust to advise her on issues she does not feel comfortable discussing with you, have that person begin a dialogue with her. This is not in lieu of your discussions or relationship with her.

This person must also not share details with you unless it is crucial to your daughter's health or safety. During your chats, don't worry if your daughter rolls her eyes and looks at you like you are an idiot. Eventually, she may share more about her personal life than you really want to hear.

That has been my experience, anyway. Best of luck.

Say you are going to the mall or something, and get her to come with. The car is a great place for most conversations to take place. She can't go anywhere.(That's how my dad talks with me, and its always worked out) If you have suspicion that your daughter is already having sex, its very likely she already is.

I am 17 years old and I am amazed when I meet 14 year olds around my town that are drinking and having sex with people. Its an unfortunate thing that people are becoming younger and younger when they have these experiences, but its how things work, I guess. Try and stress the importance of not giving in to peer pressure and safety.

Offer to not be mad at her if she's already having sex and that you hope she will always know to be open with you about anything.

HOLLYWOOD, November 27, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – A star of the third highest rated program on television says he wants out of the show for which he reportedly earns $350,000 per episode – and he’s urging viewers to tune out his show, as well. “If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching it and filling your head with filth,” Jones said in a video detailing his conversion to Christianity. The show, which starred rehab dropout Charlie Sheen for eight seasons, revolved around the sexual exploits of a jingle writer, his loser brother (Cryer), and his adoring nephew (Jones).

Sheen was subsequently replaced with Ashton Kutcher. “So far this season there have been jokes about men wearing women’s underwear, sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution, threesomes, the size of Walden Kutcher’s genitals, and how much Alan masturbates,” the Parents Television Council reports. But the young star has other plans.

““I don’t want to be on it,” he said in his video, which insiders say took the Hollywood moguls by surprise. “I don’t want to contribute to the enemy’s plan,” he said resolutely. Jones, 19, makes $350,000 per episode but will not be in the next two episodes.

The series’ producers call his absence a coincidence. The rare rejection of Hollywood’s abuse of sexuality was triggered by Jones’ conversion, which he detailed in two internet videos. Although he attended a private Christian school, he said he drifted further from God as he aged, experimenting with “weed” as a high school junior and LSD a year later.

Then a friend of a friend asked him to attend church – on a Saturday morning. “I was looking to go to an all-black church,” Jones said, because he liked black Gospel music. When he entered the church, he felt that his friend, Moses, had led him to his own Promised Land.

The pastor’s message was “tailor-made for me…my life, what I need to do, the answers, everything,” Jones stated. The pastor began to instruct him in the denomination’s Bible study. Jones also contacted Christopher Hudson of the Forerunner Chronicles through a friend.

Hudson is an outspoken critic of President Barack Obama and his implementation of the homosexual lobby’s political agenda. Hudson belongs to the Seventh Day Adventist church, which observes Saturday as the Sabbath day of worship instead of Sunday. While largely pro-life, the denomination’s official guidelines allow abortion in cases of “severe congenital defects” or if the child were conceived through rape or incest.

Based on the views of its founder, E.G. White, in the books like The Great Betrayal, many Adventists teach that the Pope is the Antichrist. Jones’ future with the high-rated, high-paying series – or Hollywood in general – remains unknown. For now, he is basking in the joy of his new spiritual life.

“Everyday I get to be a part of what God’s doing in this world,” he said. “If I’m not doing His work,” he said, “God could take me now.”.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
