i'd be horrified if my daughter came out and told me she's at it!! it's her buisness, as long as she knows she has our support, and can come to us if need be

don't tell them. no matter what your age is, sex is your business, and they don't need to know.

my parents never knew i lost my virginity when i was 16 and they never need to know. just be sure you are acting intelligently, making informed decisions, using protection, you stay healthy, and it'll all be okay. at some point in time...like when you announce your engagement, none of it will matter.

and don't tell your dad, he doesn't wanna know, believe me. good luck and feel confident in your choices!

Find a time when you and your mom typically are alone -- after school or on the way to the mall. I'm assuming that you want her support to see a doctor, get on the pill, something like that? She'll want to know that you are informed and comfortable with what you are doing, that you aren't being pressured in any way. As long as you have one parent in the know and helping you be safe, you'll be OK.

why do you need to tell them? they probably know... and generally dont need to be reminded that their angel isn't shagging.

So what you should do if you do need to talk is tell mum first that you are starting to have sex. tell her that you have rules. That you wont do it in front of them, that you always always use protection.

AND Listen to what they say.

Moviefan agony auntJust tell them anyway you do it your still going to get about the same reaction. They may already know somehow, and didn't say anything. My friends parents did that for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. If you tell them they will either get sort of upset and try to stop you or help you have safe sex by buying you birth control etc.
