    Question

    My daughter is 13 and says that her boyfriend and her experimented a little and he put himself inside her very little but she did not bleed. She is a virgin. If they did not really go all the way and she did not bleed, and he did not orgasm, can she become pregnant if her cherry isn't popped? I am scared to death, and she is in serious trouble after my finding this out.

    Answer

    You are lucky that your daughter thought you were someone she could talk to -- I hope the serious trouble she is in has not changed that. Parents can be an important source of support for children during adolescence!

    The most important thing is that you and she talk about everything she was curious about and that next time she is curious she has all the information that could help her avoid such a dangerous situation.

    There is no way for us to know how far she was penetrated, etc... So you will have to wait until her period comes, or not, at which time a trip to her doctor would be in order. Good luck!
