Yeah, it was the language that got me. I remember being 15 pretty well, as does my wife (only 10 yrs. ago). Both of us thought that this was a load of crap. No kid uses that sort of vocabulary while writing at 15. That language was more along the lines of a 12 year old's written vocabulary. If it was a 15 yr. old, who edited this article?
This was a work to "sound" like a teenager. Who ever did this is trying to get sex-ed into the elementary schools.

Yep. Besides, 13-yr-olds know perfectly well what a condom is for and how it is used, and they also have a pretty good idea how "the act" is performed. Don't forget, even if the schools do not teach sex ed, the Internet CAN, and in ways FAR, FAR beyond the "sperm and the egg". When I was 13, I was quite curious about sex, and I'm sure young girls would be as well.

One of the mistakes I think parents sometimes make is UNDERESTIMATING what their children know and are exposed to. In a way, it's normal; no Daddy wants to think that his "Lil' Princess" has even HEARD of sex, but nowadays, for her safety if nothing else, he must assume it, ESPECIALLY at age 13.

I'm 36 now. I first heard of sex in the third grade from my buddies, and that was in Catholic School! How early do you think they're hearing it NOW?
