Be Honest. Communicate your feelings and
values honestly. If you feel your child should wait to
become sexually active, tell him/her in a positive,
compassionate way. Don't expect to have all the
answers. Admit when you don't know and be willing
to seek answers together. It is OK to feel embarrased
or uncomfortable.

87% of US teens say it would be easier to postpone
sexual activity if they were able to talk more openly
about sex with their parents, but 37% of teens say
that they have never had a single conversation with
their parents on this topic. (The National Campaign
to Prevent Teen Pregnancy)
