[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 464537, member: 11339"] i would avoid telling dad if you are looking to repair the trust in your relationship with her. sex at 15 IS normal. make sure she gets on a reliable birth control, like the one that is injected every 3months or novaring. the pill is not effective in most 15yo's because you need to take it at the same time everyday and that is not likely to happen for most. i am stating this because i was 17 when i had my first child and i was on the pill and thought i was taking it 'good enough' to be safe. make sure you supply her condoms and try to swallow your anger on the subject. she may have lied to you about not having sex to cover it up but it's not something she did to betray you, although i understand why you feel that way. she was probably trying to spare you the heartache you are feeling now. it is her body and she has the right to share it if she pleases. she's not doing anything out of the ordinary for a girl her age. i would recommend you try to go easy on her and be open to talking about this stuff with her so that if she does run into a problem she can come to you and so that she will be more willing to at least hear you out about your concerns, then it will be up to her to follow through or leave it. if she hasnt gotten a gardasil vaccine i would get on that too, before it's too late. i also caught hpv when i was a teen and have had surgery after surgery after surgery for years. it is not fun. it did not effect my ability to have children but the kids did come with a warning that if i should get a lesion during my pregnancy i could get cancer and become ill or have to terminate early. luckily that hasn't happened but wouldn't it have been nice to have been able to avoid all this.
