That's a really hard position you're in. Sometimes friends can block out help from people because they trust their instincts so much. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't value your opinion or help.
You have to just be totally blunt about speaking to her. The next time she brings it up, just plain out tell her "Yeah, we need to talk about that."
Yes, sex does have some pleasurable qualities, but they should be saved for when people are in love. Because if they're not, there are other qualities about sex that will make her regret it BIG TIME. I think that you should just set them on the table for her. Show her that there are some major issues she would have to worry about after she's done it:
~She'd probably be labeled as an "Easy Target" for most guys. And trust me, that may sound like a good label at the time for her, because of all the action and attention she'd get, just that's a horrible thing to be known as.
~She would have to deal with the threat of teenage pregnancy. Ask her if she would really want a baby at the age of 15. Yes, there are some birth controls that can be used, but none of them are really 100%. Condoms break. Birth control pills are 99.9% affective. There is a chance that the other .1% will slip up. The only truely affective and safe birth control is not doing it all together.
~Is she ready for the risk of death? Believe it or not, sex can kill you. AIDS, STDs, there are so many health threats that come along with the package. It only takes one time for a disease to pass through. You have NO IDEA where your partner has been, so you don't know how many people he's slept with and, unknowingly/indirectly, you've slept with.
If your friend knew that, I doubt that she'd still consider it. You have to bring some of these issues up with her before she does anything drastic.
There is a possiblility that she won't listen, but she can never say that you didn't try or care.
Good luck!
