Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
As a parent I will tell you that we know our children pick up different things at school. While we would like to protect our children from somethings and we would rather keep them chaste from much of it, we know it is unavoidable.
We also know that at some point we are also going to have to intervene and separate fact from, shall we say street fiction. This is where you and your mom are approaching.
We get hundreds of letters a week on this site from, girls mostly, wanting answers to questions about sex that makes us wonder where they get their sex education from. The only thing we can conclude is that most of their sex education comes from their friends and most of it is wrong.
So while you know some things about sex and condoms you may not know everything and what you do know could be half truth or altogether wrong. For example: Condoms do not protect you from all STDs and are only 85% effective as birth control if worn correctly by the boy. Do you know how the boy should be wearing the condom?
These and other things are what mom probably wants to talk to you about. I suggest you listen to her with an open mind as she will tell you the truth so that you do not get pregnant and you do not get an STD.

The same thing happened to me. The easiest thing to do is wait until she gives you the talk. Keep in mind that even if you already know, she might want to tell you about it herself in a way different from the way it is depicted in most kids and teens nowadays. So when she decides to talk to you about it, just tell her that you kind of know about it, but you are willing to hear her out on whatever she says. This shows that you are being mature and shows that you have some respect for her. Also, your mom probably treats you like you're younger than you really are because she doesn't want you to grow up so fast. It's hard for parents to watch their children grow up, so just gradually remind sometimes that you are 13. Just remember than you have to be responsible in order for her to realize that yes, you are growing up. I hope this helps and good luck :)

there is no avoiding the talk, sooner or later it's gonna be brought up. first of all, you should know this if you're 13, alot of people by the time they're you're age know a lot, if not too much on the topic. i found out about it when i was in third grade, and most earlier than me. by the time i got to thirteen, it was not even an awkward subject anymore. i am 14, and my mom treats me the same way your mom treats you. stand up to her, and talk to her. tell her in the nicest and most respectful way possible you are not a child anymore.and she probably knows this, she just doesn't want you to grow up too fast. this will hopefully open her eyes and you may gain her respect and get more freedom and be treated your age.
good luck:)
