NC for this. Sorry, worried about this, I love my daughter very much and feel as though I've let her down as I don't know how to help with this.
DD14 (15 very soon) has been very quiet and upset the last few days, suddenly started crying today and I've only just managed to get her to tell me what's wrong. She said that last weekend she had a "sexual encounter" with another girl from school. That was the way she phrased it and so I'm not sure what they've actually done. The girl is one who I've heard her mention a lot recently and, while they were friends, is known in the school year as having had a lot of issues with self harm and depression and apparently has an older boyfriend who she's already had sex with.
DD said it was completely consensual and they'd talked about doing it beforehand but that she'd felt really sick and anxious about doing it and doesn't know what to do now. She's really confused.
I'm not sure if this makes a lot of sense but she's always been very mature about sex in the theoretical sense but not so much actually doing it. So she's quite knowledgeable about it but has never had any interest in having a boyfriend or girlfriend so has never, as far as I'm aware, ever done things like kiss or even hold hands in a romantic fashion so this is all very sudden.
I don't know how to approach this or help her through this and I really need some advice, thank you.
