Just get her to trust you and believe your word (im not saying she doesn't already).

I don't think its a good idea to try and bribe your kids to do "the right thing".
What you (Stick) said before was much more accurate, just educate her on STD's and Pregnancy. Once she meets the guy she "falls in love with" (or so she thinks) she's gonna have sex whether you promise to buy her a car for her birthday or not. All that matters is what's going on during that moment. Just explain to her that once things get serious between her and her boyfriend, let you know and you'll do what's necessary to keep her from getting pregnant, etc. That will show that you respect her as a person and are not just trying to tell her not to do things because you want to "be a mom".
