call the health department get pictures and reading matterial.. they should also have videos....... sit her down... tell her how it is.. the HD should also be able to get you intouch with someone that is close to her age that was doing the same thing she is and is now in an ill situation. good luck.

Realistically you can't "shock" people into submission. Though I do believe that your intentions are good. She already knows about the dangers and is still acting the way she is.
If getting an STD didn't work to "scare" her, a website or gruesome pictures won't either. In fact it will probably piss her off and cause her to rebel more.
Let her know you are there to support her.

certainly, i can give you plenty. Now, let me warn you that these images are graphic, and sometimes kids need graphics to get a point through their brains.
the image below is of a man with HIV who has a common symptom, thrush of the mouth.

** in response to the answers above, there is no way to "support" that kind of behavior and reading and seeing what other people go through (people who were promiscuous at one point in their lives) is definitely enough to scare someone into rethinking their lifestyle.
I am 20 years old and in college and I have numerous friends who have contracted STDs through promiscuity or a boyfriend/girlfriend who straight out lied. One of them has HIV. I am sure someone with one of these diseases will look back on their mistakes and say "I wish someone would have told me..."
You're doing the right thing. THIS is supporting her.

go to google images and type in the name of an STD such as gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis and make sure the safe search is off and it should come up with some pretty graphic images

Don't only tell her about std's but also tell her about pregnancy and what it is like to raise a baby and how demanding it is. And it also sounds like her friends are part of the problem too.
