Promise Ring, did you buy your daughter one?

I think wearing a ring to signify a decision like that one is a little weird! But other than that I think the most important thing is to talk to them about sex. Do not make it some mystery, or seem dirty and bad. Let them know why sex is important and why it is important to wait. Making sex seem scary does not work! Kind of got off topic there...I apologize, but scaring kids about things sex and drugs is ineffective in my opinion. It is educating and discussing these things that works!

You are right. Teens naturally gravitate towards risky behaviors as they learn to exercise independence. The riskier you make sex and drugs appear, the more appeal they may have towards teens.
