Is it wrong to tell a 15 year old girl that sex is wrong?
Not teaching them that its a "Sin" or anything, but telling them that its wrong, and that she will get pregnant, and that not all condoms work, and that they just want to do it because all their friends are doing it?

No, it's not wrong to tell her that at her age she should'nt be having sex. However,If you're going to tell someone about sex, make sure you tell them the facts. Because first you are not telling her the full truth..because telling her she will get pregnant if she has sex is not the full truth. She will get pregnant if she doesn't use protection, and condoms do work if used correctly. But using a condom and birth control is better. Some 15 year old have sex because they are pressured, or feel they are in love . it's not always because, their friends are doing it. So, make sure you give her the full facts and not just trying to scare her into not wanting sex because, that usual won't work. However, I don't believe a 15 year old should have sex because mentally they are not ready for the responsibility that goes along with a mature action. Also, she needs to know about STD's. And actual by the bible if she is having sex without marriage it is a sin.

Look at it this way. When she leaves the protective custody of her parents, should she be trying out sex, condoms and the related emotional issues out for the first time, or with years of experience? On the other hand, is it too much of a risk for her to experiment at such an unexperienced age or not? If you're going to say it's wrong now just because it's risky, then tell that to a 30 year old too.

I think telling kids sex is wrong is incorrect and not entirely responsible. I guess your the guardian and i know it makes sense to scare kids into beliveing something is wrong so that they wont do it, but in the long run you're preventing the child from making her own decisions. Dont do it. What you can do instead is set down rules about it. Rules that must be followed bcoz you- the rulemaker, is the person incharge.

well seeing that a practical answer is not seen i'll give mine. at 15 it is wrong because at that age it is very serious an is illegal. but you should take on the situation in explaining what could happen an the problems that could arise if something go's wrong. at that age an people finding out she is sexually active can be problematic. i don't believe in bringing religion into serious situations seeing that it can cause warped judgment.

The word 'wrong' is almost the same as the word 'sin'. The only difference is that 'sin' has religious connotations, while 'wrong' doesn't have any religious connotations.
Perhaps the words 'dangerous' and 'risky' are more descriptive and better than the word 'wrong'.

If you're some creepy random 30 year old guy who isnt' her father, and you're bringing up the subject, even to tell her it's wrong, then yes, it is wrong. why? Because you're intentions are to bring up sex to a 15 year old girl. and you're a dirty pervert.

sex is never wrong at any age
only some of your reasons for doing it are wrong
condoms work 97%
and get her on birth control
(and saying she WILL get pregnant has no efffect on whether or not she will have sex)
and if you think she just wants to do it cuz everyone else is.....well you've forgotten those things called hormones:):)
no matter what you tell her shes probably going to do what she wants and that could include having sex but it also could not:):)
