talk, talk, talk.
don't hold her back- the more you restrain her, the more rebelious she will become.
Let her have a boyfriend, but talk with her about everything. everything! Even SEX. Most importantly, sex. When she understands that you care and that you are helping her be aware of choices and consequences, she will definately hold that close to her in her interactions with boys.
Just telling her NOT to have sex won't cut it. You need explain to her that sex is a big issue and that there are many things to remember and be aware of regarding it. Let her know of STD's, rape, pregnancy.....but leave it at that. Trust that you have done all you could and that she will make wise choices.
