What would you do if .....?

DD1 aged 14 & 2 weeks came home with 2 huuuge lovebites on her neck from her boyfriend who's also 14 and she's been seeing for 7 mths. Hypothetically of course.

5 mins in their room is not enuf time for a lovebite... they must be seeing each other at other times,aren't they?

I've decided thats she now going to be very busy after school so that she doesnt get a chance to see him.

I wouldn't let them be alone in her bedroom.

If my parents had stopped me seeing my boyfriend at 14 because of a lovebite, I'd have shagged him out of spite. Sorry, but that's true. I'm sure your daughter isn't as silly as I was, but seriously put her on the pill, and get her some up to date information on STDs.

I don´t have a teenage girl so I´m not sure how I would feel if this was my daughter but I would hope that I would remember that when I was about 13/14 lovebites were no big deal whatsoever and I couldn´t understand why adults got so worked up about them. They weren´t erotic to give or receive, no one really knew why they were doing it, they were embarrassing the next day.. I think we just did it cos we weren´t sure what else we were supposed to do...

I mean, I´ve never actually given or received a lovebite in the fit of genuine lust or passion, but maybe that´s just me.

I really think thats the way to go... just make it difficult without her knowing!

And tell her Vicki Pollard has lovebites...!

I've told her that they have to stay downstairs now. With ds2's social skills am hoping this will pu her off altogether.

Not being funny Colditz... you just can't stick a 14yo on the pill cos she has a lovebite...

It was a big step for my 17yo to go on the pill.. she had to be emotionally ready and my 15 yo really wouldn't be.. Its all experimentation.

I think a lovebite is quite a big thing actually... in our day it was a big thing but I have never ever known either of my DDs friends have a love bite.

colditz - thats exactly what I'm worried about because I know thats probably what I would have done!

God, it must be the wine...

meant to say... in our day it wasn't a bit thing

Or the Stella - meant to say put not pu!

I'm loving my wine tonight... first drink for 5 days!!!!

I think my 14 year old niece is having sex. .

Had a chat with my health visitor, who has given me loads of information to read and too give to my niece.

The priority though is too get her started on the pill, realize that this is a different scenario but may be worth seeing if your surgery, health visitor can give you any advice.

not to put too fine a point on it - if she isn't emotionally ready for the pill, she certainly isn't emotionally ready for a baby.

She might already be on the pill, anyway. I went and put myself on it when I was 14, I always thought my mother know until she gave me the contraception talk at 16!
