[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 88023"] There are no easy answers, are there? If she's flirting and has attention-seeking behavior, it stands to reason that sex isn't too far down the line. I think it's a personal decision and you have to do what you think is best to protect your daughter. I would discuss it with her psychiatrist and an ob/gyn (make sure the ob/gyn is fully apprised of difficult child's mental health problems). If you do choose to go this route, I would also supply her with condoms and have a serious discussion - more than once - about the importance of using both forms of protection because of STD's, including HIV. It is awfully young to be engaging in that kind of behavior, but it happens quite often these days. I think it's equally important that she know that she can come to you about any concerns or problems she might have. It's amazing how many kids have great relationships with their parents, but think they can't talk to their parents about this subject and who end up hiding pregnancies or STD's. As parents, we think when we tell them that they can talk to us about anything that our kids understand that means anything. We have to tell them in black and white that they can come to up about this specific topic. [/QUOTE]
