When I was asking teens about sex, my question is whether they have learned anything about sex from conversations with parents, many have responded in this way:

I do not even listen, because I know all about sexfrom her friends. Why should I listen to what parents say? What do they know my parents? Now it's not so compared to the days when they were young. They were not able to even half of what we are doing now.

Shelly, 14 years old, Ensign, California.

By the time you are ready to make a»Report», it will make it harder than you think. If you do not talk to your children at an early age, do not blink of an eye, they think they know more than you do. Then do not expect that they will listen to you.

The worst thing here is that talking tosuch »wise guy», you know that they have the wrong view. And because of this, they can get into trouble. I asked 14-year-old Shelly, if she involved in safe sex, and she said »no.» To my question »why», she said, »I'm too young to get pregnant. You can not get pregnant until high school. »

And what about the 12-year-olds and younger girls in hospitals? But her friends said that she did not face up to high school, and even I could not convince her otherwise.


So, I started a survey of those who know »everything» that in reality they knew about sex. Here is some of what he heard me.

  • »I am not infected with AIDS. Only gays can catch them. »
  • »You can not get pregnant if you have sex during menstruation.»
  • »The girl does not get pregnant from you, if you stop the act as soon as feel the heat in itself.»
  • »You can not get pregnant if you will wash thoroughly with plenty of water after each intercourse.»
  • »From you do not get pregnant if the blood alcohol level is greater than 0.5 ppm, in this case the sperm killed. Therefore, all that is needed - this is a good gain, and you're safe. »

Therefore, the more we think we know everything aboutsex, the more we are mistaken. And in addition to debunking myths and explaining a misunderstanding, which we grabbed from your friends, you're talking to us about the dangers of sex and the responsibilities that it entails, are doing the most important thing. But before talking with us, you need to figure out how we feel about sex and what we think about it. And it may be not what you think.
