Mood: Sad
Listening to: the sound of my pottet plants screaming as the wind tips them over and stuff… my poor pooor plants… they weren’t even budding..
But yeah..
Over to the real point I’m writing.
I’m getting more and more astounded that kids now adays don’t seem to know anything about sex… well… they do… but they aren’t really prepared for it. Or they are… but not really..
True, at school they learn about periods, hormones and stuff… and that’s all well and good, but you don’t learn true feelings about sex from a nurse person. Heck, we didn’t even get shown how to put on a condom.. All that was said was that it would be wise to use one so that you wouldn’t get preggers or an std or whatever… which is also good…
But there is an alarming increas of babies having babies, and THAT is not good.
Like, not too long ago a 13 year old boy said he was a father and so on… the girl was 15-16.. turned out that the 13 year old wasn’t the father, but he thought he was because they had been in the same bed or something like that… I really can’t remember all the details.. but that the 13 year old thought he was the dad… that was scary…
The thing about sex is that… can’t get all the information at once… because I think your head would explode…
Like… I didn’t know about the neat little toilet visit trip after sex till I heard it on the radio… I think the lady who was talking was a sexologist or soemting like that and she said that to prevent urinarytract infection (sp?) you should go pee after sex… not directly after sex.. you’re allowed to cuddle.. but at least before you go to sleep or do anything else… you should go pee.. the chanses for getting sick with ui goes way down… And it does work..
I remember a woman I went on a work course thingie with… the girls were talking and she was asked why she had missed so many days, and she said that she had had sex with her husband.. had a REALLY banging time, and she fell asleep afterwards… and the next day she was sick.. like really bad sick… Think she said something about it going to her kidneys…
But those things… We didn’t learn about that when I went to school…
And I think that’s the kind of things we should have been told…and the other things, of course..
But I don’t think not talking about this will solve the problem of younger and younger people having sex.
And I don’t think making your kids feel guilty for talking to you about having sex is good.. it’s better to have an open relationship with your parents than pretending it doesn’t excist. I very much excists, and it won’t go away if you don’t talk about it. It’ll only make the kids try to find things out on their own… and that’s when things turn bad.
I guess it’s really easy for me to preach about this seeing as I don’t have any of my OWN kids… I have step-kids, and seeing as I love them as much as I would my own kids, I think I am a little allowed…
And before you ask… No, I’m never having kids of my own…
I was lucky enough to find a pre made family… no need to add more children..
Anyways… my ant is over… but I know I’m going to come back to this… because I’m sure there is more kids out there just waiting to pop them babies out…
