“Her period was two weeks late, and I never have waited so long for something. I was thinking, I'm not ready for a child.”
—David, New Jersey
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.

"never let anyone tell you, you cant" this is one of my favorite quotes, because its true, many people go around telling other what can and cant they do and there are those who actually listen its just wrong.

I get my information about sex from:
 | Friends |  | Parent(s), guardian(s) |  | Other family members |
 | School health or sex ed programs |  | TV |  | Magazines |
 | Internet |
Please tell us where else you get information about sex.
i usually hear a lot of sex talk from people i work with.
In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?
the first time, talking to my parents about sex was hard specially with my dad. my mom started the conversation, my dad will never talk to me about sex so my mom had to step up, i guess that's how she saw it since she knew my dad will never in his life star such conversation with me. i learn a lot and.

the most important thing that teens should know is how to take care of their bodies during sex, knowing how to protect your self from std's and using protection.
Do you have a story that you think should be on Sex, Etc. because it would help other teens? Write it here, and you and your story may be featured on the Web site.
i know this boy, his a really good friend of mines, a couple of months ago he told me he was going to get check up cause he tough something was wrong with him. He never though it would be an std, he though it would never happen to him, and it did.
If Sex, Etc. gave you $1,000 dollars to help teens get access to honest, medically accurate and balanced information about human sexuality and to help teens make responsible choices about sexual health, what would YOU do?
i would probably help
