Depends on the kid. It's a case-by-case thing.
I was 16 when I started taking the pill, and that's just because my boyfriend had an older sister-in-law who took me under her wing and made me a doctor appointment. And made my boyfriend pay for it. Thank you, Bonnie. If it weren't for her, my life would've probably been very different. In a bad way.
Now, my daughter is not the same way at all - I lacked confidence, and she has it in abundance. I don't kid myself that she's gonna make it to marriage without having sex first, but we might make it through high school. I really think that's best.
