I can assure you that I will. I will also do everything I possibly can to make sure my future nephew or niece is raised better

Accidentally hits the wrong button on the app, I've done that. Trying to get the medal for a certain number of ydi votes, or they could just be dicks..

If the OP did in fact receive the same failed education it would be important to note that they didn't run out and wind up pregnant. Therefore you can't really say "who should have known something like this would happen" because the fact that it didn't happen to them could cause them to not think of it occurring with their brother. If the OP was smart enough to do their research and learn they probably assumed their brother was too. Also it can be just as awkward for some people to talk sex with a sibling as it is for them to talk sex with an adult.

Yeah, that's where I want to know what kind of education the OP got on the topic. However, a sibling should not be responsible for their sibling or expected to do this. The parents chose to have them, the sibling had no choice in the matter. Therefore, the parents have a duty to provide knowledge so THEIR child is aware of how to navigate in the world and understand life. If it was really that big of a deal for the parents to have the talk, they shouldn't be turning to the sibling. They should be responsible enough to get their child an outside professional to teach them so they don't end up with misinformation or totally unaware. Also, from what it sounds like, the OP had no idea the brother didn't get an accurate education on the topic, so how were they even supposed to know their siblings needed it. Do the parents expect them to read minds?

31- If I had any inkling of what was going on, I would have tried to do something about it. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, let alone that he was having sex.

39- I also got abstinence-only sex ed, but I was able to recognize the bullshit I was told as bullshit. It would appear my brother wasn't able to do that.

As a teacher myself, I do make sure my students know that yes, abstinence is best, but for the love of all that is good in this world, USE Protection!!!! I know that they, my students, are going to have sex, I can't stop that. I Can and Do tell them all the lovely STI's and STD's they can contract. That, and children are expensive! The joys of being a science teacher. hee hee

That's what sucks about my school, it's abstinence-only but so few people recognize the bullshit they tell you as actually wrong

Yes my favourite science teacher showed us lots of lovely pictures of STDs and what they can do to your body xD Interested me but made many of my classmates feel sick. If it weren't for the condom demonstration, I reckon most of my class would have been put off sex for a while

Yes. Honestly, I wish they would have just asked me. I would have talked to him if they had. The fact that an innocent baby is going to have two parents that are much too young and immature to be parents is much more upsetting to me than my parents blaming me. And to answer your question, no they didn't. The closest thing I got to a sex talk was my mom telling me about periods. Safe sex was a topic I had to teach myself about

I was kinda in the same position OP thankfully my younger sister didn't have sex before then but I was basically put in charge of telling her how sex worked my mom never even got the inkling to tell me till I was about to get married where she asked"You know how sex and babies work right? " thankfully the internet told me long ago but I'm sorry OP and hope things work out for you and your family

Same. My sexual education began pre-internet and involved my cousin and I stealing some of our great aunt's trashy romance novels when we were 12. Because of the purple prose, we walked away thinking that sex involved a man peeing inside you, and we swore we would NEVER do that. Happily, the internet became a common thing before either of us lost of virginity. Speaking for myself, it would have been a hot mess otherwise.

I am indeed careful. I have an IUD and a strict no condom, no sex policy.

Standing ovation for you OP!

I totally misread this as 'Standing ovulation' :D

Not everyone gets mad when their teenager acts like a teenager. However, I'm pretty sure the parents in this case just wanted to blame someone.

26- My parents weren't mad when I was sexually active at 15. They knew I was being safe.
