    Without the internet, I’d still be wondering what the sex is & I’m 17. No one has discused what sex really is to me: not my mom, teachers, “sex ed” classes in middle school, friends, etc. nobody. Its crazy!

    crazy question?
    my girlfriend was baby sitting these two kids who were about 5 and 6 or around there and they asked if she shaved in her “private place” hah

  7. jayshock89 says:

    my parents really …
    my parents really never told me anything about sex, i literally had to learn all this stuff from the internet. and i’m 20 now!

  8. Jinxedit says:

    My parents are …
    My parents are super cool. I asked mom about babies and sex when I was really, really young… almost too young to remember. I think I was six. And she told me what sex is.

    I think she told me what condoms are when I was eight or so.

    Now I’m an adult and I have always been blessed with very healthy, vibrant sexual relationships. When I’m old enough to have children, I will follow mom’s example of honesty and guidance. It doesn’t hurt to have wise, courageous parents. =)

  9. ippobaby says:

    I do agree with you …
    I do agree with you with the parents not showing affection around their kids. I learned about sex when I was 7 and that was from my friends. I dont think I would have done some of the things I did if my parents would have told me about it. Thank you for making this vid.

  10. chalespi says:

    So parents please …
    So parents please dont wait f or us to come to you saying we got a girl pregnant or that i wanna get checked for stds ask us thats all we need support and love from you parents.

    this all comes from a 15 year old :D

  11. chalespi says:

    and yes im sexually active, but at least i know everything about it.now is my choice to follow the tips from my sex ed class.and another thing i forgot to mention my parents,talk to me about sex like is a joke they always say sebastian dont have sex cuz is bad for you they never explained why not 2. so i went and did it with my girlfriend and after i was done i felt good, and then i asked my parents why not if it feels good. then they started telling me more and more.

  12. chalespi says:

    LOL omg i love u …
    LOL omg i love u guys. well im 15 now but when i was 11, i heard some high schoolers saying lets have an orgy, then i went and ask my mom if she wanted to have an orgy and she started freaking out! most common things kids dont know that i had to learn the hard way is : MILF orgy, Chlamydia,Gonorrhoea,Herpes genitalis (genital herpes),HIV and AIDS,Genital warts,Syphilis. and i learned all this later on in life when i got into high school and i was thinking on a more mature way.

  13. DanAndJenn says:

    Right on… there’s …
    Right on… there’s “physically ready and able” but more importantly, the tough one is “emotionally ready”. hang tight, we’ve got a video on that coming in a few days.

  14. BobDoleismyBitch says:

    Depends on the …
    Depends on the maturity level of the individual, personally I think I had sex too soon. I was only 14. Way to young for me, I had no value for the person I was with all.

  15. BobDoleismyBitch says:

    I had the interenet …
    I had the interenet to give me the talk.

  16. MurderessLoveX1x says:

    thn she asked ” y don’t u sleep wiv yr dad ??!!”
    n i told her ” becuz it will hv baby”
    thn she juz told me “u will not hv a baby by juz sleeping together”, but she still don’t teach me anything about sex….

    from what i’ve seen parents give you useless information. most I learned was by myself and reading stuff in bio books, online, friends, , and the kama sutra

  20. AORTAFREAK says:

    When do you think …
    When do you think it’s appropriate to actually HAVE sex?

  21. AORTAFREAK says:

    I think it depends …
    I think it depends on the kid… some kids are ready to here it before others, but I think eight is an appropriate age to talk about the basics. I’m 14 and my parents have NEVER talked to me about sex. I have known about it since I was like four… I just figured it out. When I was about seven I started to understand that that’s where babies come from. I remember being ten and thinking “when are my parents gunna talk to me about sex?” They never have, and I never asked.

  22. delacruz28 says:

    well my dad talked …
    well my dad talked to me about sex when i was 15 goin on 16 before goin to play basketball for at least 2 mins and i was like i already know ..lol

  23. AutumnBrooke says:

    My daughters are 4 …
    My daughters are 4 and 6 and we have already begun age appropriate sex ed. In fact, my 6 year old wanted the “just us girls” book about puberty at the book store, so we bought it and have been discussing what will happen to them as they get older. I think parents have to realize, you don’t have to set it all out there at once. A 6 year old just wants the basics of how a baby is made: the daddy puts the seed in the mommy’s belly and it grows into a baby. They don’t need to know the how yet.

    its true, im …
    its true, im fifteen and my parents don’t teach me

    my parents taught me about that stuff when i was like 5 or 6 but i didn’t know what it really was til i was 13

    Professional Water Damage Cleanup Saved Our House

    I’ve experienced water damage at work but water damage in your own home is much worse. Thankfully, I didn’t have to deal with the water damage that we had at work but finding that a pipe had blown at our house was a real experience. I needed to get things back to normal as fast as possible for my kids. You wouldn’t believe the property lost; it ranged from books to gadgets to kitchenware. It’s hard to believe that so much damage could come from water. I tried to get started with the water damage cleanup right away but it became obvious pretty fast that I was out of my depth. Our neighbour kindly gave us a number of a water damage Orlando restoration company that could help us out. It was pretty late and I was afraid that they’d be closed. It turns out that these restoration companies are often available 27/7 which kind of makes sense since disaster strikes at any time of the day or night. They gave me a free telephone consultation. They responded pretty fast and they got the house cleaned up a lot faster than I could have ever managed. They also offered insurance billing services and I was glad to take them up on it. Not having to deal with insurance is definitely a load off. I’m glad that I have their number to call in the future. Hopefully, nothing like this ever happens again, but it’s better to have a number to call in case it does.
