in the 7th grade?
I wasn't. There was a girl in school who was considered the whore of Babylon because rumor was that not only had she French kissed a boy, she let him touch her boobies and we were all "Ewwwww!!!!!!!"

I was definitely starting to think about it but not in a way I would have acted on if that makes sense. And then I got to tenth grade and well I was thinking about it a lot and had a boyfriend lol.
No. Not even in high school. And talking about sex wasn't taboo among us. Teachers were really open about it too. Our teenage pregnancy rate is also among the lowest in the world (France).

I wasn't, but I know that in either 7th or 8th grade there were a couple girls that were having sex. So, it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone when the first girl in our class to get pregnant, got pregnant in 10th grade.

Oh yeah I forgot to add the first girl I went to school with who got pregnant we were in 8th grade. That wasn't the norm but there were some pregnant girls in high school. It is crazy to think that those kids are teenagers now.

I was. Although now I am pretty grossed out about the whole thing. I was in 7th grade and he was a junior in high school. Back then I thought it was cool to have the attention of a high schooler. Plus most of the neighborhood kids were latchkey kids and had access to a lot of privacy.

Not in any specific way that would indicate an actual understanding of sex. Mostly just gossiping about Tracy Jones having sex and saying I totally wanted to have sex with Mark Gentry*.

I did not know what a BJ was in 7th grade. I didn't even know what the "f word" stood for. Didn't think about having sex until out of high school I think. I never had a boyfriend in HS, so I didn't think about it lol. Oh, my sheltered childhood...
No and THANK GOD my now 8th grader thinks it all is gross and she thinks girls who even french kiss boys or let them feel their boobs are sluts. I am hoping this continues for years.
I knew what all of that was though and from what the kid says, she gets it too but she says YUCK! She actually gets annoyed when my friends and I make lewd jokes when the kids aren't supposed to be in hearing range but they are. I was not sheltered. My mom was very open with me and I am doing the same with DD. I want her to get correct information and understand the emotional and physical impact sex can have on her life instead of having her just hear things from her friends.
