Today, my daughter asked me what is the youngest age at which you should start having sex. Being a good mom, I said that she shouldn't have sex until after she's been married. My daughter then said, "Oh... shoot," and walked away. My daughter is twelve. FML
I agree, your life sucks 79 112
You deserved it 14 711

Same thing different taste

you should keep a better eye on what your twelve year is doing and who she's hanging around with

@164 - Losing your virginity is a consequence of having sex? Shit I wish I had have known that sooner!!!

More likely than her being sexually active is that her peers are becoming sexually active and she's trying to figure out where she "fits in". If you want to find out, then don't let the conversation end there, talk to her!!

Well.. there are 2 possibilities. Either, your daughter is no longer a virgin, or is thinking about it. I'm 12 and SHOCKED at how many pregnant people there are at my school. I'd tell her about "it" if I were you.

1) I honestly believe there really is no 'right age' to have sex. 2) I wouldn't assume right away that she actually IS having sex. Maybe, she was just curious and was thinking about having it. 3) I would keep an eye on her and make sure you know exactly who she hangs out with. And last, but not least, 4) Although I am 16 and didn't realyplan on having sex yet, I did. Yes, I'll admit, it was stupid, but now I plan on waiting until I'm married. I hope your daughter does not engage in sex until she is full ready and understands the consequences. Good luck to you with your daughter. :) I'll keep you in my prayers.

This is definitely a parent-error. You should know where your child is and what's going on in her life at age 12 - there's no way you should've been unprepared for that conversation with her if you had done your job as a parent in the first place and known what's going on in her life. Who the heck lets their kids around that stuff that young? And if you do, and you're ok with that, then what the heck kind of answer is "wait till marriage?" you should've thought that thru a LITTLE BIT more..

So, me being a liberal myself, I'm really disappointed with some people on here that are bashing the mother for wanting to set a goal for her child. Yeah, so it's up to the child when she's ready to have sex. But don't bash the mother for "living in the 50s". You're all living in the 50's for thinking that there's only one way to do things. Stop being so closed-minded, people, and just have some respect for other's decisions, whether they're right or wrong!! Wrong decisions? They're only wrong if you never learn from them.

if you're smart, you'll give your daughter "the talk" like you should have already. and find out who she's been having sex with in case it's an older guy taking advantage of her obvious naiive nature.

This is already an FML...It's almost verbatim to an earlier post...

that's not "being a good mother", that's being a horrible mother. sex is an important part of life, what if the guy sucks in bed and she doesn't realize until she's already married?

Good mother? Instead of telling your daughter what sex is and about everything that's connected with it you have left her without the knowledge to make a responsible choice.

I hate that everyone is being so god-damnned negative. Yea she was stupid for giving her daughter that response. bu what happened to realizing that kids are ******* having sex before the get their period!!! I mean SHIT! I'm 18 and I know this is wrong! YOUR 12! STOP TRYING TO GROW UP SO FAST. YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME LATER.
