I was looking up birth control, for a friend. & I left it on there. & she saw it. Now, I don't know what to say. Because she doesn't believe me, & thinks I'm sexually active. Which I'm not. I'm only 13 for heavensake. What do I say to make her believe me???
Please help me.
Thanks!

Take her aside and explain why it was open (I don't recommend specifying which friend it was for, because that could have a negative effect on her opinion of the friend and cause adversity between them). If you don't lie to her allt he time, which would make this pointless, then tell her that she should trust you. A variation on "I'm your daughter, trust me."

Then soften her up and tell her if you were haven sex that she would be the first one to know. That you would come to her if you have done anything with a boy. Let her know that she wouldnt be left out the loop, and again repeat the information was just for a good friend. Of course dont say the friend name because she might go talk to her momz.

You don't have to tell her your friends name or anything, but just let her know calmly that you're telling the truth. :) [ cinderelly's advice column | Ask cinderelly A Question ]
