Best advice to a 15 year old female:
Trust in yourself.
Do not let others define your self-worth.
You are much more than a vagina.

into fine young women, because few of them received ANY of the advice these DUmmies advocate.

21. and continue doing so for the rest of your life
because attraction from many/most men is initially driven by appearance almost exclusively.
...which doesn't mean don't practice good grooming, hygeine and don't take care of yourself.
Definitely do all that - but know that YOU are NOT just your "looks" and that other people's
judgements of you are irrelevant. What matters most is your OWN opinion of yourself. BELIEVE
in yourself, even if no one else does - ESPECIALLY if no one else does (and especially if they're
guys).
(I wish someone had told me this when I was a teen)
Odds are that DUmmy Triana looks like a cross between Willie Nelson and one of the creatures
at that bar in the first Star Wars movie.
That's really unfortunate, because, as a DUmmy, she surely has an atrocious personality as well.

5. Every nurse I know with teenagers in the house of either sex
Keeps a box of condoms in a place it can be accessed quietly. They refill it as needed without
comment.
Wow. Can you imagine your 15-year-old daughter yelling down the stairs, "Dad, we're out
of rubbers again!"

16. My wife is a certified nurse midwife and lets our daughters know that any of their friends
can come to her for their needs with no questions asked and no disclosure. She's helped out
a couple over the years.
One must wonder if she delivers out-of-wedlock babies, or performs illegal abortions.
Then there's that one piece of advice everyone gives their young girls:

11. Group sex will not make you popular or respected.
That advice is wise, but only half true.
