my friend's talking about losing theyre virginity to theyre date, and i think it's a horrible idea! what do i do?

theres not all that much you can do. you can try to talk them out of it, but you'd have to do it smart. dont act like their parent and be like "no sex for you!" because that will only make them angry with you and then make them want to do it more. do it as a concerned friend like "look, as your friend, i think this is a bad idea, but it's your life." if that doesnt work, then the least you can do is make sure they know what could go wrong (STDs, pregnancy, ect). but either way, it's their life, and you cant control it. but if something does go wrong or your friend regrets it, a good tip is to refrain from saying "i told you so" in any manner. i know your worried about your friend, but the only thing you can do for sure is be there for them. leave a comment if you want and i really hope this helps!
