Wow. I really feel bad for you people that you don't understand that a mother can talk about sexual matters with her daughters. It's not prying! This is simply getting advice from someone who raised them and loves them dearly. Someone with their full, honest medical background. Do you not remember how naive and inexperienced you were at 18 (a teenager)! The advice in this case happens to be about sex but it's really no different from how to do the laundry or what to do when you have a hang-nail. If there is trust and honesty in a family, of course sexual advise won't work but teenagers often distrust their parents without ever having their trust betrayed. They hear their idiot friends talking about bad relationships with their parents and assume they are going to have the same and feel they need to lie to their parents when they don't.

Why should a teenager tell her mom that she needs to see a doctor? SERIOUSLY? I'll tell you the obvious, since you clearly have no clue. Because it just might be possible that she went thru the same thing. It's her mother! Same physical traits. Ever hear of that? Maybe she can say, "I Love you and I'm glad you came to me with this. Let's get you to a good doctor right away. I hope you trust me with personal things like this in the future. Our relationship can be so much more." Yeah. You're right. What was I thinking. That would be horrible!
