Daughter #1 ended up pregnant at age 16 despite our talks about sex and me offering to get her on birth control if she was sexually active.

Daughter #2 ended up being put on the Depo shot during the 17 months she was in the system (lockup and then on to a foster home after she ran away at 15 with a 24 year old predator).

She's been on it ever since, and I am grateful for that. We have very open conversations about sex/relationships.

She is so much further along in life than I ever was at 21. I was going through a divorce and had a 3 year old daughter. I was also very active in my alcoholism/addictions at that age.
