[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 244732, member: 1991"] Linda, I don't think her having condoms is likely to make sex more possible. It will make it safer, at least with STDs. It won't make it perfectly safe. My mother didn't want any of us girls on the Pill because she was afraid tat being on the Pill would encourage us to have sex. I finally made her understand, that if lack of te PIll was the only reason we weren't having sex, it wasn't a good enough reason. I needed te Pill to 'normalise' my periods, and it was freedom in a very different way when I went on it. I'm wondering if the condoms are (at tis stage) mostly for show. You know, she's carrying them around to be found, so other girls (and boys) will see her as mature and sophisticated. Meanwhile inside she's a terrified, confused teenager desperately trying to look the opposite. Hence her attack on you when you removed what she sees as camouflage. I do think you're right to be concerned at the messages it sends, though. She just doesn't seem to know the appropriate way to handle all the feelings she's fighting right now. Hormones don't help. She sounds to me like a spirited, energetic young horse in the traces of the plough, who thinks it knows how to keep the plough straight but isn't managing too well without a correspondingly strong hand on the reins. Maybe she needs an older, steadier horse beside her to keep her furrow straight? Marg [/QUOTE]
