sex amongst teenagers

I think being open about it from a young age is very good. Of course I would talk to my child about it age appropriately. Kids are curious, and being open about it helps them to be open about it to you at an older age as well. Because it's a totally normal thing that is nothing to be embarassed about! When talking to a teenager, boy or girl, I would explain the biological part of sex (pregnancy and how to prevent it) but I would also teach about consent. There always has to be enthusiastic consent from the other party and yourself. In doubt, just don't do it. I think it's especially important to teach this.
