Where are the parents? Yes, 14 is very young emmotionally and a 17 yr old can be very manipulating.

That's sad you lost the innocence of your childhood, something you'll never get back. Yes it's 2011, but not all kids are having sex this early.

You have GOT to be joking.

No one in their right mind would do something like that.

Seriously? Its normal for a 14 year old girl to go around having sex in friends bathrooms and just because she will lose her virginity eventually and because its not against the law this is okay?

This has to be a joke. Right?

Over generalization.

The "friendliest" teenager at my school comes from a two parent home with a SAHM.

Freaking out is pointless.

What you really need is more information and the best source would be your sister. Just from your post you are coming across as somewhat judgmental and demeaning. I am not saying it isn't warranted but if you want her to listen to you and talk to you it's hardly a congenial way to start.

Second, all you can do at that point is support her even if you don't support her choices or involve her parents. If she gives you no information you really have no choice but to tell her parents.

If you care for your sister, than you need to tell your parents. This is not just about her having sex, this is about her putting herself in dangerous situations in various "friends" bathrooms and who knows where else. Her friends aren't going to help her. You might be the only one who can help her. Keep in mind it could just be rumors, but that is not up you to decide fact or fiction. It is up to you to let your parents know and let them decide what is best.

Yes you're right about being upset about this! You need to let your parents know what you're hearing. Although your sister has blocked you from her FB page, you should still make an attempt to talk to her. I realize though that many 14 y/o have all the answers though, think they know more what's best for their lives and don't need an older sibling giving them advice...(right), but you should still try.

To the poster who started sleeping around at 10 and thinks it's perfectly okay for young children to have sex.....WRONG! Just because SOME kids are having sex at an earlier age, it does NOT make it right! STDs are BAD! Getting pregnant as a single, unwed teen is NOT a good thing, nor are the possible emotional repurcussions of either! The taxpayers do NOT need another single, unwed mother and child to support! I'm quite sure her parent/parents would rather not do so either!

Her parents (and sister) probably think that 14 is too young to be hooking up, and that's why the girl is concealing her social life from them and shutting down communications. Time for a little bit of two-way trust and common sense, to replace the 'cuz I said so atmosphere.

The issue here is not sexuality, it is communication and trust that is broken and needs to be repaired..
