“The most important thing for teens to know about sex and sexuality is that it's not wrong and they should not be ashamed about their sexuality.”
—Kenneth, 17, 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.

I get my information about sex from:
 | Friends |  | Parent(s), guardian(s) |  | School health or sex ed programs |
Please tell us where else you get information about sex.
No where else really my friends, parents, and the sex ed programs is where I get my information about sex.
In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?
My first time talking with my mom about sex was nothing scary. All she said was be careful and use protection.
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?
All these topics are sufficient enough for a teenager to be able to understand health and sex.

The most important thing for teens to know about sex and sexuality is the consequences that come along when having sex. Also type of sexuality you have is your choice and there is nothing wrong with it.
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 really have no story that could help teens.
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 open up a little clinic to tell teens get tested for certain STD's. It would be a place for teens to go if they are scared to go to their parents. Also it enables teens to be aware of diseases out there that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
