Some parents feel awkward and reluctant to discuss bodies, consent and sexuality; their kids pay the price.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think your experience was typical. I hope I’m not wrong. My mom did this whole little lesson plan with me when I was entering puberty, including reading a book to me that I think was called Preparing for Puberty. It was awkward, but I’m glad that she took the time to share that information with me.

I hope you’re right, but my experience, albeit a decade earlier, was very similar to the above.

I’m glad my mom handed me the puberty book and walked away. Jesus christ I would have flashbacks to that experience until I die.
