I don't disagree with you at all.. and you come across as being an intelligent and mature young woman, so I have no doubt at 15, that was the right decision for you... Your friend at 13 -- just seems too young to me... There are so few years that are available to be a child-- it's pushing a child into adulthood too soon.

Talking to children about the mechanics of sex is easy... it might be embarassing (I'm still waiting for my mother to tell me - she says when I get married then I she'll tell me... )but it gives kids some information (I'm sure a lot of kids would also be as embarassed as their parents are). Talking to children about the emotional aspects of sex is a lot harder, because everyone is different and their emotions are different - -and truthfully, can many people actually put into words what their feelings towards sex are -- not the pleasure principal, but the how you really feel after...

Kids are going to do what they are going to do -- regardless of what their parents tell them... (I'd be pretty certain that you did
