born from a teen pregnancy? I don't want to sound like a hypocrite to her, because I was 15 years old when I had her. Now she is 13 years old and I want to discuss why she should not have a teen pregnancy. I don't want her to think she was a mistake because she most definately is not a mistake.
 
tell her the hardships that you may go through .. dont leave out the good things though tell her one day when she gets older it will make her so happy
 
In the end she is the one who makes the decisions about how she wants her life to go and her sex life as well. All you can do is give her your story of your experience as in how you took care of her, the emotional situations you had to go through, the good side about it.
Tell her how she is able to share anything with you and that if she is not willing to get pregnant at an early age to let you know when she has had unprotected sex and the steps you two can take together .. For example buying the morning after pill etc.. Also tell to freely tell you when she is sexually active so you are able to buy her condoms.
Talk to her of drinking .. When people drink they can be very horny and men can be more touchy towards her. etcc
Just pretty much be the mom you are, tell her your experience, gain her trust, don't ever judge the decisions she makes. Always give her your advice and just pretty much talk it all like a normal conversation.
 
just explain to her how hard it was being so young, not having your friends, having to grow up when she should be a kid.
 
Just tell her how hard it was for you to raise a human being at only 15 years old.

If she does end up getting pregnant, just remember that you can't get mad at her for it. I've heard that if someone is born to a teen parent, they have an 80% chance of being teen parents themselves.
 
Children need guidance and it is great you are being responsible and having this talk with her now.

Be honest with her. She has the same kind of feelings you did and she will respond well to honesty.

Just explain to her the hardships and how you felt and all you went through. Explain she is a true blessing but that you know that she can achieve more of her dreams and goals if she chooses to wait on sex and work to accomplish her goals. Life is full of examples on how boys often run off after sex and rarely stick around to raise their babies when. I happened to MANY people I knew in high school.

You have experienced teenage pregnancy so you will be the best teacher for your daughter.

You may want to decide if you are teaching absence or birth control. I plan to teach absence But unfortunately I know birth control works better. I still have a little while to explore my options and buy bars for her windows :)

Good Luck!!
