Give her a cell phone. Always keep up with where she is at & who she is hanging out with.
Make sure she knows the "facts of life" such as never driving with someone who is drinking, you will always come get her in any situation in which she feels unsafe-i.e. party where there is alcohol, over "eager" boy, other rules and values you wish her to have. Tell her she can always use you as an excuse if she is being pressured to do something she is uncomfortable with, i.e. My mom will kill me if I...drink, go to so and so's house when the parents are away, get sexually involved at this point in my life...
Buy her a promise ring to remind her to stay pure. Along with a talk will show her you love her and care about her!
We cannot always be asured who what and where our daughters are going to be. So with ours daughters we explained asked them to tell us what they knew about sex. And if they were mis informed we told them the truth about everything we knew from sexual information that would of been damaging and if she got drunk if we needed to come and pick her up we would not discuss it that night but the next day. We even signed a contract regarding what was and was not acceptable behavior. When our middle daughter became 17 she told us she was thinking about be sexual active and wanted to get birth control we did not agree but she knew enough that she did not want any babies at her age.
My daughters are now adults and were never in trouble with drugs or alchol thank GOD
