As a teacher and high school counselor, I would encourage you to do as she is requesting. She knows you do not condone it, but in my opinion, she is making a responsible decision for her future by taking preventative measures. We cannot stop what teenagers will do. We can teach them right and wrong and from there, it is up for them to handle. It sounds like you have raised a mature, responsible daughter, brave enough to let go of self-pride to ask you for help so she can protect herself and her future. I commend her.

I’m not a mom yet but I’m not far past my teen years. I wasn’t “active” until my early 20s. At that point I put my self on it even though I did tell my mom. I wouldn’t have dared tell her before. My mom and I never had that type of relationship. When I did tell her she didn’t freak out like I thought she would. She agreed I was old enough to make that decision and just reminded me accidents can happen. I would only hope my daughter would come to me and tell me she needs it. I don’t think I freak out or make a big deal. If she’s grown enough to tell you she wants it let her have it. Doesn’t mean you have to agree with it but she is trying to be responsible. Accidents do happen but if she’s trying to prevent them be honest with her about how you feel but let her get it anyway.

It's a testament of how well you have raised your daughter if she is willing to come to you. I have seen so many of my son's friend girls that don't have that kind of relationship with their parents. I don't have a teenage daughter yet she is still waiting in the wings :). But have been through this with my son, and have had discussions as to it's not just the girls' responsibility to be protected, that it is on the guy too. Like I have told him and still tell him even though he is grown. I don't condone it, I won't make it easy for you but I will do whatever I can to help protect you. And I used to tell his former girlfriend the same thing. Heck, even his friends and friend girls. I'm probably that mom that a lot of mom's hated because I was so open about things with my son and his friends.
I think an eye-opening experience for me back in my early 20s was when I watched a very close friend of my die from aids. He become infected from his wife. That was one of the most life-changing moments for me because back then there was nothing you could do but watch a person slowly die. Since then I have always preached to my son, and will my daughter too, and anyone that would listen. There are so many things out there that can hurt our children or hinder them.
Oh and a good way to have talks with your kids about this is on a road trip doing about 80 on the interstate because they have to listen no escape lol at least that is what my son used to tell me. Sorry didn't mean to ramble on
