This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

It's hard to have that conversation with a 17 year old who just gave birth to their second child. There's children out here having children because we have fuckall for sex ed in this country and human instincts and desires aren't going to go away. I have met pregnant teenagers that knew that sex before marriage was bad and would send them to hell, and that sex is where babies come from.....but didn't know that "sex" is when "he puts his thing into me where I pee from down there" because no one ever explained to her what sex actually is.
oh yeah, i remember, in school when i was 12 years old, a teacher told me "no holding hands because that's immoral" and walked away.
I have a hard time believing this. 10s on any porn site would make that connection clear, and you could ask pretty much any 12yo and they'll know what sex is mechanically, even if they've never looked at porn or had a sex ed class.
Regardless, I agree wholeheartedly that we need better sex ed and access to contraception and protection against STDs. People, especially kids, are really good at making justifications and convincing themselves they what they want to do isn't technically the thing they're not supposed to do.
A girl from a religious family in a rural community that was home-schooled until starting at a strict Catholic school in 6th grade and has not looked at porn....yeah, she had no idea what sex is or that what her 3-years-older-than-her boyfriend wanted was actually sex.
Ah, makes sense. If you attend public school for even just a week at anything from 4th grade and up, you'll know what sex is.
