Many parents have problems talking to their teens about sex. This can be one of the most important talks that you have with your child so do not skip out on it because you are nervous or uncomfortable.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start out by getting together all of your thoughts and all of the things that you want to talk to your teen about. You want to let your teen know the importance of safe sex and the consequences of unprotected sex. Many people have different views on sex and religion so get together everything that you want to say.

  2. Step 2

    Let your teen know that you would like to talk to them about something important. Sit your teen down somewhere private where you will be able to talk alone. You want to choose an environment where they will be comfortable talking to you because this conversation will most likely be uncomfortable for your teen to talk about.

  3. Step 3

    Do not be afraid or hold anything back because you are uncomfortable. These things are very important and need to be said. Your teen needs to know the importance of these things. Be sure to emphasize on all of the consequences of unprotected sex. Let your teen know how it could effect the rest of their lives. The most important part of this conversation will be to get all of your points across. Make sure that your teen is listening to you because they will probably be uncomfortable and not want to pay attention. Ask them questions about things once you are finished talking to make sure that they understand everything that you have told them.
