“This friend of mine got a check up because he thought something was wrong with him. He didn't think it would be an STD. He thought it would never happen to him, but it did.”

One voice can make a difference. Make it your voice. You have the right to honest, accurate information about sex. Speak up for the sex ed you want, need and deserve. Your Voice, Your Rights.

I get my information about sex from:
 | Parent(s), guardian(s) |  | School health or sex ed programs |
Please tell us where else you get information about sex.
I know about sex Through Sex Eduction, School Health and My Parents
In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?
Well My Godmother Randomly Said it.She was like i know your grown up in to a young and beauitful women and now it come to the time were we need to speak about serious things like sex. I know boys and girl your age like to experiment and things leaded to another and you wont be the first or last teen to do it but if that does happen be the responsible one and use a condom or if yo worried ask for help. dont feel you need to have sex because everyone else is doing it being and be you and do it when you feel you ready not when hes ready. I was weird talking about it but it help me to understand that i dont have to do something i dont wanna do and dont do it cause they want you to do it. Dont Follow the crowd.
