I get my information about sex from:

Parent(s), guardian(s)

Internet

Please tell us where else you get information about sex.

I get information from those that have had sexual encounters, since i have quite a few adult friends and friends who are mentally and sometimes physically older, i find that as long as they take you seriously, they'll answer anything truthfully.

In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?

Umm, i started the conversation with my mum at about 7-ish. I was wondering why we had our "thing" so we started talking, i got complete truth and i knew more about it then, then my mates do now. I feel even though have had very few sexual encounters i know what to do and how to do it. I feel alot more confident

What do YOU think sex ed classes for teens should talk about? What was covered in your sex ed class? What do you wish was covered in your sex ed class?

covered in my sex ed:

covered in my sex ed:

• Wet dreams • How to know if your body is developing in a normal way

• Masturbation • Menstruation • Issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or questioning people • How to figure out your sexual feelings for someone of your same gender • Pregnancy options • Abstinence • STDs • How to talk to your partner about sex • How to decide if you're ready for sex • How to talk to your parents about sex • How to talk to your partner about birth control or safer sex • How to figure out if your relationship is healthy or not • How to manage online flirting and dating • How to find a clinic

How to express your feelings, i have found i have many feelings and i know about them but i hardly know how to express that. I feel uncomfortable around girls i like because i don't know what to do.

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.

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?

Stand in a high street offering practical help, the type that makes teens laugh, so it would be fun but interesting at the same time.
