Hi @Susan444,

I can hear that finding out your daughter is sexually active is a real shock. Is this something you feel like you can talk to her about?

 

Talking about sex with teens can be a really tough conversation to have and we do have some content you may find helpful here.

 

These forums are always a great space to put in writing what is happening in your life and vent when you need to, there are always people here to listen Smiley Happy

You make sure to give him enough time, listen to him, and understand what he says. You talk to your child like he or she is a friend, which makes it easier for him or her to talk to you about anything when they are feeling lonely.
