What My Parents Told Me
What my Parents Told Me For this assignment we are suppose to write about what out parents told us about the Bird’s and the Bee’s. Well this topic will be more difficult than what I thought it would be. My parents got divorced when I was ten and I lived with my daddy, and you know daddy’s don’t talk about puberty with their daughters little own the “SEX TALK” My dad married my step mom about three months after I moved in with him, and mom talked to me about my menstrual cycle, a just a little about sex, because for the first time ever I had a little brother and we shared a bed room, She told us that when boys and girls get older they start to get curious about the opposite sex, and that it was normal for us to play house and or doctor, but that it was not appropriate to play with each other because we where family. I did however, despite my moms talk experience my first sexual encounter with my step brother, he was about eight and I was eleven I believe, we tried so hard to hide from mom, but it didn’t work out very well, she came and questioned us about what we had done, we told her we played a game of hide and seek like mommy and daddy did, well we didn’t share the same room anymore and that was about it as far the sex talked when then. I moved back in with my birth when I was fourteen, we lived in the swaps of Louisiana so , Sex education wasn’t taught, we really didn’t have the big city to worries about we lived on an island. My mom was the manager of a restraint so wasn’t home very much and when she was she was asleep. So no sex education from mom either, I did however have an older sister who was sixteen , she was who really told me about birds and bees and that it had nothing to do with birds or bee’s, she was also pregnant . By the time I was fifteen I had already been sexually active and I became pregnant just after my sister had her daughter, I was really confused though about how I got pregnant, I mean I knew that

    When I was around the age to start talking about sexual activities, it was a funny and weird subject to speak on. In reality, it is a touchy topic to talk about with teens. You feel that you already know or you don’t need to know because you are not having sex. Oh! How we were wrong. My mom told me about birth control, condoms, and abstinence. At first I didn’t know exactly what abstinence was but I figured out that it meant wait to have sex when you’re ready. My mom told me to wait until I get married, never get pressured to do anything. I never learned a lot of facts at school because we didn’t have sex education. Sex education should be in all middle and high schools. So many kids like I did didn’t know about safe sex and the cause and effects on what will happen. Not only females but more males have no idea on what to expect as well. Recent discussions has showed that if you tell kids to stay abstinent not only will they go out and have sex anyway but cause a lot of problems such as, teen pregnancy, more infections spreading, and emotional distress.…

    When I decided to tell my mom and stepdad I was terrified. I was so scared they would shun me and tell me they didn’t want me to live with them and they wouldn’t be supportive. I was also afraid my mother would be disappointed in me for following in her footsteps. To my surprise, their reaction was actually the opposite of that. They didn’t judge me at all. In fact they both hugged me and reassured me that everything would be okay and we would all get through this together, like family should.…

    I started to explain that I struggle with female relationships and have always felt more comfortable hanging with “the boys.” I recalled that most of my close relationships were with men and it was easier being friends with them. My mom then quietly asked if I was trying to come out to her or if I was a man. I was shocked and loudly exclaimed “no!” We both had a good laugh and I recall this moment fondly. I had a parent who was listening to what I had to say, and one who wanted to have an open conversation about my sexuality or even my gender preference.…

    Quindlen remembers being taught at a young age that teenage pregnancy rates can lower just by learning basic information. However, she explains it is in the nature of teenagers to have sex to be accepted in today’s society. Teenage pregnancies are no longer a “shock factor” in these adolescent stages of life. Ultimately, Quindlen believes sex ed should be taught at home within families.…

    Intro: I remember when I was in 5th grade in Hayward Intermediate School in Mrs. Helander’s class. We learned songs that helped us remember The Preamble of the Constitution, and songs that helped us remember that before a bill became affective it was sent to Capitol Hill to be approved or vetoed. I also remember when we watched a video that had a singing sperm, and a singing egg. I thought it was the funniest thing that was taught in school and couldn’t keep myself from cracking up. But I understood what the video was talking about. I was a kid who, at a young age, was taught by my mother about sex because she got pregnant with me at such a young age she worried, and…

    This happened when I first moved to Kansas. It was the middle of summer and there were no kids around close to my age so I was alone. First i named some roses that were in my front lawn and drew pictures with them of crappy looking rabbits because that was all I knew how to draw. my mom came home one day and I ran up to her and showed her the pictures, saying "And this one rosy drew, and this one Rosetta drew and this one I drew." when I was done my mom said clearly not understanding that they were not real "what house do your friends live in?" Like the dumb kid i was i responded "oh they don't have a house they live in our front yard." Extremely confused and probably creeped out my moms said "can i meet these friends?" It was then I told…

    Many of the expectations that came from my parents were contradictory to the norms expected of my gender. My father was only around for the first 10 years, but during those years he played a large role in what was communicated. One of the earliest Christmas memories I have was when I received a Baby Alive doll. She was great! She could eat, cry and mess her diaper. She came with a stroller and everything needed to take care her. It might have been the ultimate sex-typed toy for girls in its day. My dad, however hated the doll. He would make fun of the doll, and of me for playing with it. He did encourage me to shoot guns and go fishing. He even taught me how to build a bow to shoot arrows. That same Christmas I received my first pocket knife. I used it to make my arrows.…

    In all honesty, I didn’t realize what was happening until I was in the 6th or 7th grade. My mom and my eldest sister Rebecca used to fight every day and they weren’t just arguments; they were extreme, like stuff being thrown around, hair pulling, and my mom pinning my sister down on the ground fights. My mom would scream in her face and spit on her and would…
