On a side note...
My wife works as a surgical technician in a major teaching hospital here and notes that the OB doctors have stated on numerous occasions of having to talk to children as young as 11 because their parents didn't...to little, to late.
Some parents just refuse to talk to their kids and either skirt around the questions or not address them at all. Sad to say, but I don't remember getting that type of talk when I was growing up. Different school districts have different guidelines on what age to teach also. For instance, I had sex education at 6th grade (11/12 years old) while living in the Cypress-Fairbanks School District in NW 'burbs of Houston. They didn't give sex education here in a small school district in Illinois until 8th grade (13/14 years old). Shoot...by that time I remember kids in Houston bragging of their exploits.
