And I don't mean the "bolt goes in the nut" talk.

I mean the "getting pregnant or a disease at 14 will f'ing destroy every part of your life that you currently enjoy".

You could always get her one of the cell phones that only allow for calls to pre-programmed numbers.

I think that's a good approach, in my opinion. She's probably watched 16 and Pregnant on MTV.

Yes she's watched them a ton before. I don't think she's having sex. I think she's only done what she texted him. She's still my goofy little girl though and I'm trying to keep it that way.

That show is probably a parent's dream as far as TV goes. Unfortunately, that same channel shows Skins, which glorifies that kind of stuff.

Last year at the kitchen table over dinner. Had the nitty gritty talk. Even told her about some terms she didn't even know existed. But I'll drive the point home on this go round. I do feel another talk is warranted.
