The poor girl just did her best & nearly gave herself a brazillian when it came time to take it off!

I was suitably disgusted, did not want to know, and learned all my info from Just 17 and Sugar problem pages!!!<br /><br />I have a 6yo son, and t'other day he pointed at my stretch marks when my top rode up. He asked me what they were, I told him they were marks that Mammies get after they have babies. He goes "sure maybe you're pregnant again, are ya?" I nearly DROPPED. Asked him where he heard that word, he said he was playing his Nintendo DS and one of his cows was pregnant and then had a calf! <br /><br />He has asked me a few times where we 'got him', up until now I'd just said 'Mammy's tummy' and brushed off the usual 'but how did I get in there?' questions. <br /><br />I'll be loading my lad up with condoms when he hits a suitable age, feck that, better safe than sorry!

For some reason, only my class had it, the other class of 1st years never did! Strange. The information wasn't useful really, at this stage I already knew (My mother, never one to discuss things like this, gave me a book when I was in 6th class. However, I was curious child and had already read a book about it in 5th class from the library!). <br /><br />Not really related but Lorraine's post above reminded me of something that happened in my school. We were in English class in 6th year and something came up about someone being gay (not in the class, an author or someone we were studying). Someone asked the teacher something and she said she wasn't allowed to speak about that, it being a convent. I think sex education is so crap in school because of the church. Seeing as condoms are one of the easiest forms of contraceptive for teenagers to get their hands on (not to mention preventing STIs), it's ridiculous that they can't be mentioned in sex ed. We got a talk about abstinence at school. Which is great and it can work but it's not the full story, every option should be mentioned. Sex education in schools can be so clinical, there's barely any mention of feelings or the emotional side of things. At least there wasn't when I was there.<br /><br />As for information overload on the internet, it's true that there is so much information on here. I found a user on YouTube, Laci Green, she speaks about sex and sexuality, health issues, body image issues, emotional side to relationships in a show called Sex Positive. Probably better for teenagers to watch if they want information but I found it interesting to listen toBreigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273124468088477481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-76332814408881963912011-09-04T22:39:14.381+01:002011-09-04T22:39:14.381+01:00I learnt from Judy Blume's Forever.

One of the girls asked about condoms and we were told by the instructor that she wasn't allowed to tell us about contraception because it was a convent school.<br /><br />We also did the "who can put the rudest questions in" game, some of 'em were priceless!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966592041929847694noreply@blogger.com
