Should teenagers have sex? is it okay?

My daughter is a teenager. The idea of her having sex with her boyfriend is freaking me out. Should I feel that way? What do you mothers and fathers out there think?

You need to have a talk with her, talk about safety, talk about contraceptives. Teenagers get curious and if you keep saying No No NO about it, she might get in a little trouble, pregnancy or an STD that she will try to take care of herself when she needs her mother the most. I think if the teen knows to be careful and knows the consequences, and they are ready to do such an adult thing, you cannot really stop them. Because they will find a way to do it even if you lecture. The best thing to do is to talk and communicate and be open.

I know.. I really think that communication and trust are the keys. Still, I find myself too concerned about it. I do trust her, I think she needs to feel that way too.

Are people that aren't mothers or fathers allowed to respond?

@Mike197602 She is 16 years old. I do believe that I'm a "safe haven" for my daughter, except for that issue, I was the one in trouble who needed her to calm me down :/ I'll try to make things right Thank you dear Mike!

I think you won't need suggestion because you know what to do.As a female you too passed through such situation or thought came to your mind during your time.

Communication is the key. It is a worry being a mother of a teenager. I remember those days well. I had many sleepless nights. In the end they are going to be the one to makes that decision so it is best to talk to your daughter and leave that line of communication open. Let her know she can come to you with questions anytime. I remember the day my daughter came to me and told me she had a doctor's appointment to get birth control. Even though it was a shock I knew she was being responsible. She had a steady boyfriend for years. They moved into right out of high school and we're together for ten years.

All you need to do is to make her understand the pros and cons of having it without commitment, and the freaking outcomes of it..... And at the best just try to communicate with her and try to get what is actually cooking up in her mind...
