I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.

Judging from the other questions you have sent in I would say you are probably in your very early teens. I also believe that your mother probably still sees you as a little girl and has not yet sat down with you to have “The Talk” as it was called in my day. So be prepared for your mother to be both shocked and possibly very much against having a discussion about sex with you.

This is not the type of subject you can go to mom and say that your friends’ mom has discussed sex with her and you think it is time you know about sex too. Every parent has different views on parenting as well as what and when they want their children to know about sex. If your parents are very straight laced about almost everything in their lives be prepared to be put off by your mom on this conversation.

There are two other directions your conversation can take with your mother. The first is she is open to the conversation and you sit down and she tells you everything she knows about sex. The second is she says she will try and answer any questions you may have so be prepared and have your questions written down.

Also be prepared for one question from your mom. Why do you want to know about sex? This is a valid question; and again just because your friend had a conversation with her mother about sex may not be a satisfactory answer for your mother.

I would be remise if I closed without adding the following. Should you be as young as I believe you are; it is one thing to be knowledgeable about sex and another thing to be having sexual relations at your age. Knowledge is good as it will help you from getting in to situations you cannot control. Boys who pressure you to have sex with them are looking for two things; their need to satisfy their raging hormones, and for bragging rights in the boys locker room. They aren’t interested in what they may leave behind even if what they leave behind may stay with you for a lifetime.
