How Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham Talks to Daughter Sophia About Sex

by

Farrah Abraham is stepping up for her daughter. 

Now that her daughter, Sophia Abraham, is 16, the reality TV star has shared how she talks openly about sex with her, even though she didn’t receive the same kind of support when she was growing up.

You know, looking back, I really learned about life – and relationships – through *living* it. I often share my own story with young people, talking about my experiences growing up. I truly believe the best way to connect and offer guidance is by being real and sharing what I’ve gone through – it’s about saying, ‘Here’s what happened to me, and how I navigated it.’

She’s a strong advocate for sexual health, and when talking to young people like Sophia, she stresses the importance of open and honest conversations, even if everyone’s experiences are different.

Farrah, who shares her daughter Sophia with her late ex-partner Derek Underwood, believes it’s important to experience both the good and the bad in all aspects of life, including personal relationships. She explains that having these contrasts helps people understand their choices and why they make them.

She intentionally took Sophia to the drugstore to educate her about sexual health, covering both helpful and potentially harmful products and information.

Farrah, who became known from the MTV show *16 and Pregnant* during her pregnancy with Sophia, shared that she’s very proud of her daughter.

As someone who’s seen a lot of life, and especially when I think back to my own teenage years, I have to admit my parents, Debra Danielsen and Michael Abraham, weren’t really the people I turned to for advice. It’s a common thing, I think – sometimes you just need someone outside of family to talk to when you’re figuring things out.

She shared that she never had anyone guide her in making healthy life choices, and she had to figure things out on her own through numerous gynecological appointments. She’d dealt with health issues like cysts and even cervical cancer, facing a lot of challenges along the way.

She explained that, having often felt alone, she was determined to be a supportive presence in her daughter’s life.

I’ve been following Farrah’s story closely, and honestly, it makes perfect sense to me that she agreed to be part of A&E’s *Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes*. It seems like she really wanted to share her side of things, and the September 22nd episode will finally give her that platform.

Looking back, that time in 2013 was incredibly difficult. I was young and honestly, felt very alone. A big part of what made it so tough was a strained relationship with my mom – I really longed for the kind of support I wasn’t getting from her. It felt like a really vulnerable time, and I didn’t have a strong support system to lean on.

She acknowledged she was going through a difficult time when she started working in adult films. However, after addressing her own sexual trauma, Farrah realized what she wants to share with her daughter, Sophia.

She continues to go to therapy, explaining that she’s working on choosing better friends and surrounding her daughter with positive influences.

Now that my daughter is sixteen, I’m confident she’ll avoid anyone who might hurt her. She’s very aware of red flags and knows how to protect her career and future from negative influences.
