Straight talk-- "Our sex-ed class was about safe sex.  I had some questions I didn't ask in class.  Do you mind if I ask you?" "Does puberty ever end?" Less straight, more hinting-- "I saw a commercial about waiting to have sex.  Why do they advertise about that?" "What kind of stuff did your teachers talk about in health class?" It's natural to be nervous about talking to your parents, but you may find that talking to them actually helps you and lets you know that they are a safe place to get truthful answers. What do YOU think?-- "Do you think it's a good thing for health teachers to talk about condoms?" "What do you think about that movie we saw last night?  Do you think he really loved her?" What People Say-- "A kid at school says that everybody will have sex before they get married.  Why would they say that?" "Some of my friends said that they aren't going to have sex until they get married.  Is that realistic?"
