My younger sister has asked me to get her condoms
My 15 yr old sister started seeing a guy a few months ago - her first actual boyfriend. she told mum and I that he was a year older. I would drop her off when they first started to see each but did not meet him or get too close so as not to embarrass her. Then she said she preferred to use public transport to get to and from wherever they were going.
She has now told me in confidence he is actually 18 yrs older and has a car that they go “parking” in….a lot.
Says they have done most things but now she wants to have sex and asked me to get her condoms. She will be 16 in a few weeks which is the legal age of consent in Australia.
Says she loves him and is ready for him to be her first. I told her to be careful about confusing lust and hormones with love and not to rush anything.
As her brother I don’t want to facilitate what to me is a doubtful decision. We have always been close and am torn between my own judgement (which I have no right to impose on her) and her right to make her own decisions. I don’t want this to end in tears but can’t help feeling that is what is going to happen.
So - should I get her condoms?
