Sex education in school....How to talk to a 12 yr old ?
Well I got the letter home last night that it's sex ed time in junior high for my 12 year old.
It's an abstinence program that teaches about human anatomy but not about birth control / contraceptive devices.
I haven't had "the talk" with my son about having sex yet but we have discussed human anatomy, the mechanics of the male and female reproductive system, our dog got pregnant which introduced the baby question & answer session, and of course we've discussed what it means to love someone and be married. I haven't discussed the actual deed though.
From the fellas here... What are some ways "MOM" can possibly approach this where he isn't going to get all freaked the fuck out?
I'm NOT going to leave it to this ONE class in school to educate my child on the most important and sacred part of being a responsible loving committed adult.
Go ahead and knock out the smartassery too, but any helpful input would be greatly appreciated as well
The only reason I ask here, is because it's a sea of sausages that were all 12 years old once, and you are all brutally honest on what a 12 yr old boy could be thinking / feeling.
Funny fucking addition to the story... I asked my dad how I could approach the subject with my son... his answer "don't sweat it, let the schools teach him that stuff." I told him he belonged in a South Park episode and I have no idea how I held off having children until age 21 with suggestions like that LOL!!! (BTW, he knew I was just giving him a hard time)
