I now have the task of giving the talk, and I'm at a loss. There have been a few times when I was all ready to go when my heart just failed. I'm usually fearless, and I've answered questions when they've come up, but how do I get to the part of answering questions she doesn't even know she needs answered?

Is she in public school? You need to pray for courage and support and just jump in heart first. In all liklihood she knows more than you want her too already. Kids get a lot of information from friends, TV, etc. Its important that you use every opporunity to discuss your values and your hopes and dream for her.
Good Luck,

P.S. The resources Connie and LM posted are great. I would also suggest For the Strength of Youth.
