Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 7:00 pm
K ill make this short. My male friend (13) says he is going to have sex with his girlfriend on Friday night. I really really tried telling him all the consequences about AIDS and Pregnancy and how young he is etc. He wont listen to me! I really care for him, and im not shure how to tell him not to have sex so he would listen to me. If anyone can help, that would be great.

Warn him about the consequences more if he doesnt want to protect himself, then warn his girlfriend. Warn his parents if you have the guts. Otherwise forget it. People our age have sex, and at least the both of us know its not good, but in the end THEY suffer the consequences, their FAMILIES suffer the consequences, and you can say I told you, and avoid them.Who wants friends who dont listen to them anyways? The consequences arent even just physical problems, disgrace, punishment, disownment, death. Who wants friends who dont listen to them anyways? [ AskAndy's advice column | Ask AskAndy A Question ]

If he choses to have sex with his girlfriend, that's on him but you can't stop him. You're being a good friend for telling him the consequences and such but he's naive. Try talking to him one more time. Remind him to use protection and if he won't take your advice, you know that you tryed. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Still, you really won't be able to convince him not too, and he isn't really in danger so it would just be "tattling" to try and tell someone to make him stop. The best thing to do is just to encourage him to have safe sex, like using condoms. Also, one last argument that you could try would be that he would totally lose any little bit of innocence he has left. I'm not totally sure that would move him at all, but it's just something to think about...hope I helped. [ snickerzz11's advice column | Ask snickerzz11 A Question ]
