However, she has learned more about sex and drugs than I did in college.
I'm sure that this was informal learning from peers you are referring to
, but it did remind me to tell you to take a close look at the sex ed/human development curriculum if they have one. We are pretty liberal and not religious, but I opted dd11 out of most of the three week sex ed class the district does for all 7th graders here. They covered anal sex and why it wasn't a way to avoid STDs as well as showing pictures of human genitalia with STDs -- more than my 11 y/o needed. I did let her watch the video of the birth, but I opted her out of the abstinence segment b/c it was being taught by a religious organization with a reputation for poor information on birth control & I didn't want her being scared into thinking that using birth control was ineffectual or bound to cause her permanent damage. This was all in a co-ed class too!
