So we didn't assume any knowledge on her part, even though she is a pretty sensible girl, and went through all the health and pregnancy risks again as well as the legal aspects of underage sex. We were also fortunate in being able to discuss the issues with his parents and amazingly we shared the same views
- we did not approve of underage sex
- we strongly recommended abstinence until legal age of consent
- if however, they wished to have sex despite breaking the law and going against our wishes, we would assist with contraception
She said that she did not intend to have sex but probably would do so once she reached 16. Our initial thoughts were that the relationship would not last, so no immediate problem. However, approaching her 16th birthday they were still together and appeared to have a very strong relationship, she asked my wife about contraception. She also said she would like to have her boyfriend sleep over after her 16th birthday party (to be held at home). We agreed to these requests and to the best of our knowledge they both gave their virginity to each other on her 16th birthday. After that there were occasional sleepovers at both houses but they were both very responsible in ensuring work and study commitments were met as a first priority. The boyfriend came with us on a family holiday and we were happy for them to share a room.
A few months later the relationship ended. We sensed that the main issue was that he was then 18 and able to go to entertainment venues where alcohol was available, while she could not. He was finding this too restrictive to socialising with his friends. She now has another boyfriend and is 18. Again we sounded out his parents and it was very clear that they disapproved of sex and although we did not ask the question directly, it was very clear that sleepovers were off the agenda at his home. So we also respected their position and took a similar stance. She was very accepting of this. We don't conclusively know whether they are having sex or not - probably they are, but we are not condoning it in our house in this particular relationship because his parents would not be happy with the situation and we regard them as friends. What they do outside our respective houses is their business, and we have no right to intrude because they are both over 18.
I realise that it's not always possible to work things out with the other parents - you may not even know who they are, but in both cases, we have managed to maintain a united and supportive approach.

Nothing you can do. The horse has already bolted. Just make sure she's practicing safe sex. Take her to the doctor, get her checked out and discuss the option of the pill.
Sex is normal and not a bad thing. Having sex at 14 is nothing to be surprised about. It is normal and very enjoyable and sharing intimacy is a feel good experience and very gratifying.

You let her finish. Get close to observe and make sure the man is wearing a condom and didn't cum inside her. If so get condoms and show her how to put it on the man next time so she will know how to protect herself.

No one condones or encourages underage sex.
BUT, more often than not sex will happen in a few cases. As a society we stupidly believe that just because we do not condone or do not encourage underage sex, that sex wont happen. Such a fallacy and so very naive and ignorant we are!!
The best thing for everyone is that we accept that teen underage sex will happen if the opportunity is there and the conditions are optimal. This is a given. Happened in my case.
The responsible and sensible thing that societ can do and MUST do is to PREPARE those teens for the event and give them the tools to stay safe and to prevent consequences. Rather than telling teens to abstain we need to educate them and PREPARE them for this big event. This does not mean we are encouraging them. All it means is that if and when they do have sex at least it will prevent unwanted and unintended pregnancy.
That would be intelligent way forward. If we dont do this we only have ourselves to blame.
In my situation I had a much older boyfriend who took care of me and made sure I came to no harm.

What are your bf's parents like? Maybe you could spend some time at his place with him. That might be a good start especially if it is during the day time.
You havent said how old your bf is but I really dont think it matters as long as you both like each other enough to care about each other and look out for each other and to make sure you never never get yourselves in trouble. If you do end up having sex which I am sure will happen, please take precautions against falling pregnant. It is fun and very enjoyable to be in a sweet relationship.
