Talking & Listening

Puberty and being a teen can mean thinking a lot about sex. These thoughts are completely normal. Everyone has feelings and fantasies and tons of questions.

You may wonder:

Am I normal?
Is it wrong to think this way?
What does this mean? Will I get in trouble if I tell anyone about it?

You need safe adults in your life that you can go to with these thoughts and concerns. There are some things you shouldn't have to figure out by yourself. But let's be real - it's hard to even imagine your parents having sex, let alone wanting to talk with you about it! So, what in the world do you say? How do you even bring it up? Luckily, there's plenty of good advice to consider.
