Hell I dont think we had sex-education until we here half way through high school, and my tween knows way more than me at her age. It is really frightening to know this about her.
Hmmm, a lot of people would consider this a good thing. It's important to receive proper sex ed (from school AND parents) when kids are first becoming curious. I had a few weeks of sex ed when I was 10 (5th grade) and then an entire course devoted to it again when I was 12 (7th grade). Personally I think earlier is better, as long as parents are involved, because we're already seeing a decline in teenage pregnancies. Kids may be having the same amount of sex as teens, but it looks like they are being safer and smarter about it now than "back then". Honestly I don't think kids now or when I was younger are any more sexually active than they were when my parents were kids. It's just that when my parents grew up, people had this presumption of innocence
