Regardless that I’m 24 years old my parents still think that I’m a virgin and we still do not discuss sex. To me, this is ridiculous and not ideal, however I can’t tell them the truth because I’m afraid to be shunned by …show more content…
I believe it’s important that teens are educated on sex and sexuality because often times they’re embarrassed to go to their parents for this information. I 've also learned that planned parenthood is an online website that educates women, men, and young people on a variety of topics including abortion, birth control.
