Is she to young

WTF !? omg 12 ? SHE HAS THE REST OF HER LIFE TO DATE ! get her mind off these sick things . she shouldnt be allowed to date in the first place . .

Shes only 12, shes still a child, shes not even a teenager yet! If you let her sleep with her boyfriend at this age, she'll just regret it when shes older!

at least shes talking to you about sex, she could be out there experimenting for herself. you now have the opportunity to steer her in the right direction and give her good advise

well, IMHO i wouldn't let my daughter go out with a guy at the age of 12... "is she too young to be on the pill?" you ask. but isn't she too young to have sex first of all?? i don't think she is quite responsible for the consequences of her actions at 12. isn't it possible to talk to her, to persuade her to wait for some time?
of course, the girl's health is of primary comcern in this case. if her body is not fully ready for carrying of pregnancy, how can it be ready for pills? additional hormones can do much harm at this age. u can consult a doctor on the point.
if u it's not anyway possible for you to prevent your daughter's beginning of her sexual life at 12, at least have a serious conversion about contraception with her. what about good condoms?

My son is 8. He has a girlfriend and they practice kissing. I was shocked when I found out but I want him to always talk to me about things like this so I didn't make it a big deal. He is already curious about sex and what he hears from other kids at school. I answer his questions and make sure he feels comfortable talking to me. It is normal for kids to be curious and if she is talking to u don't loose that! And by all means, give her the information she will need in order to make the best decision. You can't prevent her from doing it no matter how hard u try. As for the pill, I would take her to the gyno and find out the facts. You can forbid the dating, but you can't watch her every minute of the day.

I understand the concern. The idea that "what if something happens?" plagues me every day. with my 13 and 14 yr old girls. She's going to have sex one day and most likely it will be while she is in high school. Exactly when is a gamble. Becoming pregnant can really screw up her life.
If taking the pill had no side-effects I would just put her on it to be safe. However, there are side-effects. Studies show that the earlier someone starts on the pill, the more likely they are to develop blood clots and other problems later in life. Also, there are concerns that starting them before their breasts are more fully developed can cause them grow into an odd tubular shape instead of well-rounded breasts. I just use every opportunity I get to point out people around us that have had sex too early so they can readily see the real effects of sex too early. They need to see this and you need to constantly point it out so it is fresh in the mind. So the next time you are in the car with her and drive past a trashy trailer with a 16 yr old mom outside in her PJs, be sure to point it out to her.

I got prenant at 14. I'm now 21. My mom wouldnt get me on birth control. I ended up preg 3 months later. If she is active she wont stop. Please let her get the pills.Be her friend an tell her everything she needes to know. Dont agree with him coming to your house though. My mom got in alot of trouble for that. Hope it helps ;)

I have a friend whos a girl who lost her virginity at 12 and she doesnt regret it. I think the main thing was that she was very mature about it and as long as your daughter is and she is 100%% sure then you should just give her all the advice on sex you can and hope she makes the decision that is right for her.

ODD AS IT MAY SEEM PEOPLE IN MY CLASS WERE TALKING ABOUT SEX AT 12.
BOTTOMLINE......I SAY PUT HER ON THE PILL BECUASE ID RATHER HAVE A KID THATS NOT A VIRGIN THAN PREGNANT.

Wtf?? She's 12 and you're letting her have sex!!? Shame on you!!

normal in Asia

Mary, in the bible. Was 12.
That's historically accurate.
Generically possible.
Girls menstrate at 11 or younger.
Society can say whatever.
Nature and hormones don't care!
If your girl wants to, she will.
You want to be a parent, or a grandparent?

Birth control for a 12 year old? Thats the most ridiculous thing ive read all year. Most boys havent even hit puberty yet at 12, what is she planning on screwing kids who are just learning how to drive? Come on now

I am 14 and I am on birth control.what's the big deal? let her be on birth control and if she had sex get her tested cuz you don't want stds.good luck:-)

12 year olds should not be allowed to date. I was force to wait till I was 15. She should be riding a bike and having sleepovers with her friends for Pete's sake. She shouldnt even kno of the pill. Thats so fucked up. Get a grip on your child's life and actions. Some people just shouldnt be parents.

Okay first off, what the hell is a 12 year old doing dating a little boy? Second, why are you allowing it? Third, she shouldn't be thinking about sex and you should'nt have to worry about birth control pills until she's like, 15. I don't want to be rude, and with all due respect, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR MORALS??! Get the girl a Barbie, cut them ff for a few years, be done with the matter. The hell... when I was 12, I'd go out with my friends in the yard to play with dolls and whatever else we could. Be back inside by the streetlamp light. Tsk tsk.

tooo young

Well, long story short.
Shit yeah! shes too young, woman what the hell is wrong with you!!
If I had children, especially a daughter I think I slap any ideas about that out of her head untill she was at the very least 16-17

Well surely at 12 you aren't letting her go out anywhere without supervision?!?!

this world is fucked up

lmao.. :)

She only 12. 13 is when you become a teen don't let her talk about this stuff anymore. If you think she's having sex then give her the pills. I don't think you wanna be a grandma at your age.

it is normal to put her on the pill. it is also normal for her to talk about it, it doesn't mean that she's gunna do it, she could just be wondering. or maybe her friends are telling her things and she wants to know if there true?

If she dosnt learn this stuff theoretically she will try and discover practically and end up in a bad situation, i say tell her the base line of everything and explaine the consequences of her actions and before putting her on the pill ask her if she wants to be sexually active, the more you keep from them the more they want to discover, alot of the time ending bad

I agree that it is better to be safe than sorry, but at 12, she shouldn't be thinking about these things. If she is, then she is lacking something more substantial in her life. You really need to talk to her to see what she is missing and try to fix that first. Maybe she feels as if she needs more attention or something. Take it from someone who started having sex at an early age as well. It's not a good thing, emotionally. You may be able to get her to prevent pregnancy or disease by talking to her, but you cannot repair the damage that will be done to her self esteem once she starts having sex, at least at this age. She really needs to be older and more emotionally mature to make this decision. She is not ready for this.

Good she is talking. She trusts you. Listen. Be supportive. Ask her if she is thinking of doing anything? Does she feel pressured?

There is so much for her to learn about relationships and she has come to you.

So the question I have is are you uncomfortable with that? I wonder if you are jumping to conclusions about putting her on the pill? Though I definitely appreciate your concern.

How about making an appointment together with your family doctor or a nurse educator. Talk about it with them. It will help her understand that sex is also a health issue, and what to do when she may need to.

I dont see the harm in talking to her about sex, she is young but just because she's curious doesnt mean she's going to act on it. I'd much rather aware her of what can happen then keep her hidden from it all and her finding out on her own. But putting her on the pill at the age of 12 is way too young.. If your still worried about it in 2 years thne I'd say its time for the pill.

omg, lots of kids have "boyfriends when they're 12, don't put her on the pill, she's far too young. As long as she knows the risks and the stupidity of losing her virginity too young, there is no need to make her take such an affecting pill

Yes she is too young and you need to be a father and put an end to this today. I can't believe you are even asking this.

even at 18 i was nervous about sex.. Kids these days have sure gotten younger and younger and need to be taught a lesson properly. At 12 they shouldn't even be considering sex.

She is not too young to go on the pill. That does not imply that she is old enough to have sex, but if she has she it is a catastrophe if she get pregnant. Some girls have sex in that age, and your daughter obviously may has sex.

If she talks about sex, join her. Be honest and tell her what you think, but emphasise that these are your personal oppinions. This way she do not feel that your way of thinking is forced up on her, and the chance of influence her is bigger. She also gets the feeling of makeing her own mind up. This increase her level of self-confidece. That will be very useful when she is to say yes or no to a boyfriend that wants to sleep with her.

12 years old girls think about sex, so it is good that they talk about it. That helps them to form opinions about it.

I think you should put her on the pill .. If she is out having sex already she needs to be protected .. But if she wants to have sex and be on the pill you should tell her everything she would need to know about them .. Like how birth control pills increase the risk of cervical cancer, and because of that reason she will have to get annual pap tests .. but i guess if she is ready to have intercourse she would be ready to have a doctor not only look at her vagina but also pry it apart and swab it .. But i strongly recommend that she also use condom because of STD's .. I think it is nearly impossible to have a monogamous relationship at 13. I wouldn't trust the word of a 13 year old boy either .. And aids is fairly rampant in the world today .. Maybe you should make her watch the movie "Kids" ..

try to have a good long conversation with her to figure out why she wants to have sex in the first place. maybe it's the influence of her bf, especially if he is older. i think that a good and honest talk may solve it all. if it doesn't, buy her condoms. the pill may mess up her body...

mature is a word that is getting younger and younger... i think it would be wise to talk to her about sexual deseases and the effects of a young pregnance and how hard it it to be a mother if ur 30 so of course it would be hard at 12.. i have a little sister and just found out that she is havin sex .. she just turned 15.. i dont wanna tell her not to bc then will do it without thinkin just bc its what she wants to do.. instead i tell hher to make wise disition an give her all the advise she needs... if ur daughter want birth control that not to say she will have sex it just protecting her just incase it happens... i think it a little resposible of her to ask u about it instead of just doing it.. what i would do it be honest with her... if u have had bad experiances .. tell her.. if u had good experiances.. tell her... dont let her just find out alone.. for instance i was with a guy once.. i knew him but not well and anyway he placed his hands around my thoat... so i told this to my sister to let her know that there are ppl out there like that... knowin thing that like could help her from gettin in that kinda situation in the first place... im sure she is a beautiful and smart girl... give her the benfit of the doubt....

umm i think u should just STOP her from dating completely like right now she is wayyy too young to be dating i cant even date yet and im FREAKIN 14 lol she'll probably hate u at first when u tell her to stop but she'll thank you later because u giving her the pill will make her feel in control like "now i can have sex when ever since i got birth control" you get what im saying? u shouldnt let her be in control thats not a responsible parent if u do =) im just sayng

are you fucking serious of course its not normal you imbecile jesus christ
