The only things you can do is greatly express your opinion to her and try to set a good example. I think right now your cousin is a little confused. She has probably gotten caught up with/in young teen peer pressure and drama. While I'd like to say it's just a phase and you should alott some time for it to pass, that would be really risky in this case. I know you said you're not the kind of person to tell her to slow down..but you are going to have to learn to be if you want to help your cousin. Maybe you should try having and informative not critical sit down talk with her and tell her alllll the risks. Tell her you care about her and don't want anything bad to happen to her. Maybe you could also make a video that's like " Wonder if you had sex..." and demonstrate all the negative effects. (Ie: Pregnancy, stds, aids,etc). if you have or know of friend that is pregnant, have them talk to her. Maybe you should encourage the two of you to attent a bible study or chruch weekly so she can come closer to God. Or, you could go to a teen abstinence group meeting. Ask a youth official at a local church for more info. When it all boils down, like I said, only SHE can make the choice, but you can have a huge influence. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
