Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Time to have "the talk" with her I guess.

If you don't take time to explain it, they won't understand

maybe she wants to open up to you. you know. talk woman to woman and this was her ice breaker....not a very a good one but never the less still an opportunity to have a more personal and meaningful conversation with her....and if it wasnt then you figure out the Ice breaker cus she definitely needs THE TALK.

Tell her no...then see when she figures it out.

Are schools not teaching sex Ed anymore?

My school decided it was more important to talk about self-esteem

It shouldn't be the schools job to teach kids about sex, the parents should talk to their kids about it. And honestly schools aren't doing a good job teaching about sex anyway. Saying use protection is good advice, but that's not everything there is to know about sex. The parents don't need to go in full detail, but still the school system and the parents these days are failing at informing kids about it.

I agree but between both, a combined combo of talks and education.....that's usually enough for a young adult to know the basics

My school tells us it's our decision, but tells us about consequences and different protection we can use. (Including effectiveness, failure rate, and what it protects against)

The slide show during the STD lesson was more than enough information for me to wrap my little soldier.

My high school made us play a board game where you'd roll the dice move around the board and draw a card with some weird scenario about us sleeping with someone. At the end of the game whoever had the least STDs and kids won. Quality lesson right?

Welcome to my world, 85. Rather than rolling dice I'm filling out child support checks.. Haha.

When I was in high school we only looked at pics of STDs. That was considered our sex ed.

Maybe thats why teenage pregnancies have such a high rate of occurence now

Well. Schools stink at teaching sex ed because parents and politicians undermine the system because they don't want the "government" to teach their kids that stuff. If only the parents would take responsibility and teach their kids, but they don't.

Sex Ed at my school was pretty good. They even told us they expected us to have sex eventually and taught us about it all (STDs, protection.) They were even talked about homosexuality ect and gave us all the options

I'm from a small town, and my school had a surprisingly good sex ed program. They taught us about all kinds of birth control (diaphragm, female condom, IUD, ect.) as well as about STIs. Sad there are still schools that get away with teaching abstinence only education. If you're in a catholic school fine, but keep that out of the public schooling system.

That's odd, most teenagers have to take a Sex Ed course in highschool...I guess it's up to you to have the talk with her!

horneyhic 15

We had a were babies come from course in elementary school but not the full protection and failure rates and STDs until about 14 or 8th grade

She could have been a test-tube baby (ie, conceived via in vitro fertilization.) While you think she's an idiot, she is basically saying that you are unfuckable.

graceinsheepwear 34

wow, I wouldn't have thought you'd consider any woman to be unfuckable! Look who has standards now!

iammeorami 25

My new favorite word: unfuckable

i hope your daughter was kidding or, as 11 suggests, that was her awkward ice-breaker for a more personal conversation. if, at 15 years old, she truly doesn't understand where babies come, YDI for being long-overdue for The Talk.

Kitsi 14

That is sweet. I think that was her way of coming to you for that conversation. I hope you took the opportunity she gave you to teach and listen to her. Maybe she didn't know a less awkward way to start the dialogue. I know it seems like a stupid question, and the words were clumsy, but i think you should be proud and happy she trusts you enough to WANT to have that conversation.

pinguino3669_fml 23

Maybe health class wasn't enough for her

WildWonder808 14

lol well I think we all rather not think about our parents doing it!

Iknoweverything 29

That wasn't a question- that was a BURN!

YeahYeahYeahOK 6

No kidding, right? And everyone seems to think its sweet or a clumsy way of starting a sex conversation.... Come on, 15?? Most kids know the basics before 10. It was a Burn.
