Hi this is OP. First off, my daughter is not pregnant. She has been going to school sex ed classes since she was 11, apparently they don't explain how someone gets pregnant in enough detail. She told me she's a virgin, though she thought she wasn't because she was "having sex" with the showerhead. Apparently one of her friends had told her masturbation counts as sex.

That tells you what she's doing in the shower.

I remember my younger sisters going through the 'sex ed' part in 5th grade, where they sit them down for a couple hours (separate classrooms for each gender) and told them about puberty. One sister came home sobbing because she was convinced, from this talk, that she absolutely HAD to use tampons and was absolutely terrified because she heard from her friends that using tampons meant you're not a virgin/had sex/hurt/etc. The quality of sex education in quite a few parts is abysmal.

This is for all the idiots on this thread. OP's daughter isn't pregnant, she was terrified she was after masturbating with the shower head. Do you guys need me to dumb it down even more?

This is why Americans should not breed. They are the cancer of the earth

Really, because she is an American she shouldn't breed? What exactly went wrong here? The daughter is 13 years old, she is new to sexual encounters, and had a twisted friend tell her a lie that she believed. Because she is a gullible teenager, not because she is an American. I for one go to a school with an exceptional Sex Ed class, I learned about pregnancy, the inner functions of the body, and all I feel I should know at that point. Guess where I live? Oh what a shock, America. Don't judge people on where they live, especially if your not going to read the comments and assume this girl is some kind of scum.

I don't think idiots like you should ever reproduce.

Please don't shame her for masturbating. There's nothing bad about it. It['s good for her to know her own body. She should have already known how one gets pregnant by at least 11 years old. You don't "wait for her period." Anyone who does this is cruel. No one should have to learn what that blood is about by surprise. Ever see the movie "Carrie?" They need to know at least by 11, possibly sooner.

My mother explained to me what a period was and all before I got my first one, but I learned about sex itself not long after I got it. She has done this with both my younger sisters as well and it works for us. You don't have to know all about sex to know what a period is.

my mom never had the talk with me. I mean she talked to me about my period, and when I first got it, I was 11, and she said to me, if I ever want to have sex later on in life, she will put me on birth control. but I've been on birth control since I was 13, to regulate my periods. so yeah lol.

I learned about sex in 2nd or 3rd grade because someone had sex in the school's jungle gym and left some clothes, beer cans, and a used condom behind. How I found out? When I enquired about what had the teacher making a fuss, the other kids called me stupid saying 'you don't know what sex is?' There was the sex ed. class in 5th grade, but either I or my mother forgot about the permission slip, so other kids told me about it. In all actuality my parents never told me what it was. When I was 14 the word virgin came up in a movie. (didn't know what that was) When I asked my mom about it, she gave me a look and asked 'do you know what sex is? They're people who never had it.' That was my family's sex talk. (For the next few years I actually wondered that if sex was such a big deal why not make a business out of it. Yeah.) So my awkward teenage years of listening to other people talk about sex is how I learned. So I'm a big believer in sitting kids down at a certain age (junior high or freshman year) and explaining these things. So I'm going to kinda say YDI cause leaving it alone and expecting things to pan out is bad. My biased opinion. (Though I will give you masturbation probably doesn't come into any real sex talk)

OP's daughter is in Sex Ed. It would be smart to actually read her follow-up and not look like an even bigger idiot than you already do.

I did read it, but the point of my post is the parent themselves kind of need to do the talks because other sources aren't always as reliable or detailed.

How is it OP's fault that her kid is dumb enough to think she can get pregnant from a shower head? OP probably thought that it was safe to assume that she didn't need to have the "having sex with anything other than a penis cannot get you pregnant" talk. To me it seems like the daughter just wants attention and is willing to get it in any way possible, and at thirteen she probably is curious about sex, so she thought it would make sense.

I know my sex-ed class told us the basics like sperm going into the ****** by a boys penis is the only way to get pregnant

i think thats grossly unfair. she sounds like a little girl with half the facts that got a fright. wr all seem to forget the silly things we believed as kids and tweens.

I couldn't imagine being in her shoes thinking she's was about to tell her mom she was gonna have a shower head baby ! >.< lololol

monnanon 13

i feel sorry for her really. she must have been so scared. at least she was able to tell her mum.

Bad parenting or bad genetics, either way, its at least 50 percent your fault, unless she's adopted.

How does that have anything to do with it and I don't see a problem with being adopted I'm adopted and I don't blame my biological parents or my adopted parent for anything that I've done an I don't see why anyone would The young lady just thought she got pregnant because she masturbated in the shower can you honestly say you've never masturbated I don't see how anybody did anything wrong anyways I think your just being ridiculous

Naw, op. It was really her brother...

Well maybe it's time for you to sit her down and have a real sex talk and then gift her with a vibrator.

@240 Thats actually a very healthy idea, it would teach her to be relaxed about her sexuality.
