My daughter has just finished her abstinence-only sex ed at school

89. I went through

my whole school years without ever being taught a thing about human sexuality.

Oh, there was 10th grade Biology class, but it was about plants and animals and amoebae and things like that.

But that's it.

My first introduction to human sex ed came when I was about 12 and one of the teenaged sisters of our downstairs neighbor belonged to a community center which put on a presentation for young people. I went with the older sister and watched a film, then came home nearly traumatized.

OMG!!!! My parents did....that????

I had absolutely no idea where babies came from, even at 12, so it was a huge shock.

That was it, though. I don't recall anything about birth control (not that I should have expected it in 1964, now that I think of it).

And so I became a mom at the age of 17, just 3 months after graduating from high school.
