What if you set her up with a guy that WILL treat her with respect. And date her. And court her.
So she has a comparison of what guys should do. And not do.
that's actually a really good idea but i don't know any guys in her age group like that. i will keep my eyes and ears open for someone like that though!

Seems like she's using the guys for sex the same way the guys are using her for sex. It's pretty sexist of you to assume girls can't enjoy one night stands the same way guys can.
Also, how do you know that her self-esteem issues come from sleeping around?
well i didn't mean that her self esteem issues came from sleeping around but her sleeping around is a result from her self esteem issues. sure it's okay for grown people to sleep around but this girl is only 18 years old..like just graduated from High School this summer.
put yourself in her Dad's shoes! if you were her Dad would you want her having sex with everyone?

Just be there for her and keep letting her know that she's a wonderful human being who has value and that she deserves to be treated well. There are a million messages telling her the exact opposite, so it'll take a long time (if ever) for her to believe you. But it's still worth the effort in any case.
thank you Dusty!
i actually did this and she is a lot more open with me than she was before!
we talk all the time now about our favorite shows, what's next in life, goals etc.. i get to throw my Dad-isms in there and i think they're sinking in a bit! i'm probably not much of an influence but even if i can be a tiny little influence that could change her life for the better it's GG as heck!
