Psych paper help Options

[pkbabe]

LOL been a hella long while since I've MADE a topic.

Anyways, lets get to business. As the title describes I need your help with my psych paper.

The topic is on adolescence & sex. The main questions that would really help me getting this paper rolling is:

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?
2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?
3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old?

PLS expalin each answer to the questions cuz just saying "yes" or "no" won't be of any benefit. Thanks for reading

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?
My parents never talked to me about sex. I learned about sex at school through health class or through my peers. I'll add television to the list also. Not from my parents. I do believe that they should have talked to me about it, though.

2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?
My parents know I have sex, but it's not something I can talk to them about. Uncomfortable much? I can probably talk to my mom about birth control, but not necessarily sex.

3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old?
Just tell them straight up! You're getting older, and it's time we talk about sex. Sex is blah blah blah. You should always use protection. Types of bc are blah blah blah.

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?

Not my parents, but my Uncle Pete did.

2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?

My parents are dead.

3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old?

My philosophy is that children learn best with hands on experience. Show them instead of telling them. Although 10-14 is little bit too old for my taste.

^x2 Eww

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?
Nah, they never did the "I know you're getting older, and..." stuff. My mom was one of those people who got married at a young age and never really had anyone tell her about sex, so there's actually been a few times she's asked me about stuff. Not because she thinks I'm out doing stuff or have friends with STDs or anything, just because I've actually had sex ed.

2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?
My mom and I have a really good relationship, but I don't think I'd ever talk to her about my sex life. My sex life is mine. But, there has been sometimes when we talk about it in general.

3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old? I've never talked to a kid about sex, but I'd think the first step would be to create the opportunity for them to be able to ask you anything. I wouldn't want to create the total awkwardness of having a little rehearsed sounding speech with them.

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?

The most they've ever said to me was, don't have sex...you're gonna get pregnant.

2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?

Probably not, my parents aren't really the type of people you can really open up to without getting yourself kicked out of the house.

3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old?

I say you just tell them straight up, they're not as dumb as they used to be and quite frankly, they're the majority that are having sex. Just tell them to either be abstinent unless you wanna risk having a kid or be safe.

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?
My Dad brought it up when I was in the first grade. It completely flew over my ehad and had no idea. But later I got curious and by best friend filled ,me in because I didn't want to ask twice. (and don't ask how my mom felt about the 1st grade thing. she was furious)
2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?
Yeah I'm the last child so I can make it by with things like cursing and talking about sex. I can even throw in "thats what she said" jokes from time to time.
3.How do you go about talking about sex to kids 10-14 yrs old? I'm 14 and guys will be guys. All the 10 year olds I know already know about sex and.... found out about the dirty deed. So sex flies around our conversations all the time. Its guys hormones

Umm weird...but I can use this on "what NOT to do when introducing the topic of sex to 10-14 yr olds"

2.Can you talk about sex with your parents?
My parents know I have sex, but it's not something I can talk to them about. Uncomfortable much? I can probably talk to my mom about birth control, but not necessarily sex.

I think I am in the same boat( I only think cuz they never actually told me that they "know")

1.Did you parents ever talk to you about sex?

The most they've ever said to me was, don't have sex...you're gonna get pregnant.

For me its pretty similar except my stepmom adds " Theres no such things as guy friends. Thats just an excuse for them to get close to you so they can eventually rape you"

karmakiller: I absolutely love your replies. Especially with #3

ItsSelvy: Well since your age group is the primary target of my paper, how would you feel if I or someone around my age (I'm 20) were to talk to you about sex. Would you feel weird & how would you handle such a situation?

btw, thanks for all the replies. This has given me a more wider perspective on the topic
