I was 16. The day before "it" happend, I so freaked my mom out by asking "what's sex like?". All I got was a "don't do it!" I think if her answer would have been somewhat more (ok how would you answer a 16 yr old who asked you that?) I wouldn't have, at least not then. After my bf and I did, I was very unimpressed, won't go into details, but now that I am older I know why. I think talking to kids is the best thing you got, All of us were young and dumb once and that is when this happens. So information is the key feed it to them over and over the nagging does sink in. I had all the information the school was giving including the birthing video, it had no influence on me, I needed to hear it on a more personal level (from my mom).
