Ok...Well My sister is 15 years old and has been doing alot of partying lately and messing around with guys much older than she is!Its been bothering me because im 17 going to be 18 shortly and i am going to be 8 months pregnant which dont get me wrong im happy about the baby and im not going to regret her but i just dont want to see my sister end up in the same situation at an early age if she keeps it up.She seems to think that what she is doing is fine but im worried about her ending up in a bad situation or getting a bad reputation.Any ideas on what i should do and do you think that what she is doing is wrong?

SweEtxvxMisEry answered Saturday August 14 2004, 1:19 am: i think that you should talk to her about it. And tell her how u feel in your situation. i no thats not a easy thing to go through and maybe if u sit down w. her..and tell her what u have been going through at such a young age..she mite understand. i dont no.its worth a try though`!!

babygirl17 answered Friday August 13 2004, 10:28 pm: I think you should talk to your sister and tell her what you just put on here. Just tell her your worried about her. and you dont want her to go down the wrong path. she may not want your opinion but maybe in the future she will open her eyes and realize what she is doing is only going to get her into trouble. maybe even dead... Older guys will take advantage of any girl who doesnt know what they are doing. [ babygirl17's advice column | Ask babygirl17 A Question ]

xo_Meg_ox answered Friday August 13 2004, 1:07 pm: is there a possibility that she might be acting out for attention?? you might've been getting a lot of attention since you got pregnant, and maybe she feels unimportant...i suggest telling her straight up why she should stop based on your own experiences [ xo_Meg_ox's advice column | Ask xo_Meg_ox A Question ]
L0VELLE answered Friday August 13 2004, 12:03 pm: yeah what she is doing is wrong...i hate to come at you from this point of view- but maybe she's taking from your example..i'm not saying you did this but i'm asking...did you ever party and mess around when you were her age? because if so..you're her role model and she wants to be like you so when she saw you do things she probably thinks it's ok...another thing is maybe everyone in the family is taking really good care of you and paying a lot of attention to you so she's trying to get in the same situation so people will focus more on her...i like to think it's more of a cry for attention more than anything...she could be lacking attention at home and feel that not many people want to give it to her...so she goes to the people that she thinks will always give it to her...those guys- when really they want nothing more than some play from her... i think you should talk to your sister calmly and tell her that you think it's wrong and what you think is wrong and why...she should understand- and i hope you don't take anything i said personally or in a bad way...i didn't mean anything like that at all..good luck, and i hope i helped :D

But sit down and talk to her and get into a deep conversation as to why you don't want this to happen. This is kind of hard when they really aren't going to listen. Tell her you are only doing this for her best intrest and you aren't trying to intrude on her life. You have been there before and if you keep repeating some of the same things eventually she might realize what she is doing and lay off a little bit. I don't know how close you are with your sister but spend a little more time with her. Do different things together and not only will that gain her trust more you will also be able to take some of that time away she could be spending having sex, spending that time with you instead. If you need anything else drop me one in my inbox! Good Luck and God Bless!

alisonmarie answered Friday August 13 2004, 11:48 am: Why don't you sit down with her and be completely honest about what you are going through? You might be genuinely happy about the prospect of motherhood, but you probably wish it was going to be happening later in your life.
Let her know that pregnancy is not all it is cracked up to be - you might be getting a lot of attention from family and friends, but you also have to deal with morning sickness, a baby kicking your bladder, and raising a baby outside of marriage. It's a lot to deal with, and your sister might only be seeing the glamourous side of it.
Be honet and open - chances are she looks up to you. She might tell you to mind your own business or be snotty, but I bet you she'll think long and hard about what you've said. If you are approachable and genuine with her now, maybe she'll come to you with her problems and questions in the future.
I'd be careful to not tell her she is 'wrong' - after all, her big sister isn't much older than her and she's pregnant. Who do you respect more - people who tell you you've made a dumb mistake, or supportive people who offer to help you out?
