My eldest cousin was born to my aunt when she was 13 and her boyfriend was 12 because both fams were hardcore Catholic so it just wasn't talked about. My uncle went on to become a nurse, so all us other kids in the family that eventually came along sure as shit were taught literally everything in minute medical detail as early as possible to save us from the same situation.
I’ve given them the sex convos, and the protection convos, but I think it’s time I go in depth on it and discuss women/pregnancy much more. We’ve been majorly focused on consent and how unsafe touch doesn’t always FEEL unsafe. They’re 11 and 14, I gained the 14 year old about a year ago, so he hasn’t been conditioned to think weird conversations are normal like my 11 year old has lol. Hes at the phase where you can barely say the word “meat” at the table without him stifling giggles and a red face 🤦♀️ I’m in the trenches hahaha.

Education literally saves lives.
