Advice if you think your teen is crossing over into unsafe/unsavory sexual situations?

daughter being too promiscuous and reaching out to a revolving door of boys. Hopefully not having actual sex, but at least heavy ';petting'; and has to be the beginning of a bad reputation at the very least. A cry for help or just sowing wild oats? Not happy with what might be happening but also don't want to push her further away into a worse situation.Advice if you think your teen is crossing over into unsafe/unsavory sexual situations?
Depends how old she is tbh. No one wants to admit their children aren't little girls anymore, but if she's now at the age where she's becoming a woman then indulging in heavy petting is normal. I think it's unfair to label your own daughter as ';promiscuous';, and say she's going to get a bad reputation, especially when you have no evidence that she's actually having sex with multiple people.





I agree that if she's 12/13 then perhaps her behaviour is too strong. However a 15/16 year old will indulge in kissing with boys. It's part of adolescence. It depends on her age what you should do about it.





Just talk to her calmly about the dangers of unprotected sex and non barrier methods of contraception (how they may prevent pregnancy but not STIs etc) and trust her to make good decisions. I expect she's just a hormonally charged teenager exploring her sexuality, and won't continue for ever.





If you think you may be seeing it worse than it is as she's your daughter (no one likes to think of their children doing things like this) then let it go. If you're genuinely concerned she is having underage sex then speak to her. But if she's a sensible girl trust her to make good choices.Advice if you think your teen is crossing over into unsafe/unsavory sexual situations?
I think there is a difference between having a boyfriend, and making out with random guys.





Any girl who does this, may have some abandonment issues and is looking for love and affection she feels she has missed somewhere along the line. It's not about having a reputation, it's an emotional problem.





If your daughter has been through a divorce, or has issues with one or the other parent, this could be a cause. Maybe you could talk to the doctor for helpful advice on how to approach her ... maybe she could use some therapy, but again, i think that the approach could be very gentle, and the reason should not be ';because you are too loose'; --
Im a guy teen and if I would want my mom to be involved it wold be cool if she could see me so she feels safe about it but when I flirt and hug and stuff for her to be cool about it! You know? And if it comes to more than that... U should break it up by bringing up somethng else todo
