I think that's completely appropriate. Because the class was being immature about the subject matter, she was trying to explain that it's completely normal to have those thoughts. And I do not think this book is too adult for 13 year olds, I read it in class in 5th grade.

Not weird. teachers are people too. She was just saying that when SHE was your age.... Her comment shows she lacks appreciation for the FACT that everybody is different. My first date was when I was 18. Everybody has different interests and different speeds. Some people aren't interested in the opposite sex (or any sex) at all. You'll know where you stand in about 20 to 25 years max. Do you think you should wait around that long and worry about it? What a waste! If you want to be just like everybody else, then worry about it. If you would rather feel like everybody else, just accept them (including your teacher) with all their flaws and don't point out all of their mistakes. Nobody IS like everybody else. Teenagers want to fit in, so you worry about stuff that won't matter at all in a couple of years.
BUT if she keeps on saying things that make you uncomfortable, you've got two choices 1) suffer like a child 2) try to do something about it. Talk to her (or write her a note and give it to her - looking her straight in the eye when you do). If you can't get up the courage to do that talk to a teacher you like, or your parents. She shouldn't be expressing opinions on sexual desire in class - in a perfect world. At your age you will be very sensitive to this "new world" but don't sweat it. Be smart and safe and take responsibility for you.

I think she was trying to calm the laughter by letting them know it was a "normal" thing this kid was experiencing.
I however take great issue with a book that dicussed this and that someone 13 is reading and reviewing this in class. If I were your parent, I'd be raising some hell at school.

She was just stating the fact that at a certain age, everyone begins to feel sexual desires. Whether or not you do didn't play a factor in her statement. It's not weird at all, she was trying to get control of a class, that as you stated, "roared in laughter". I know you just "uneasily giggled", but in this situation, majority ruled, and she needed to regain control.

That was very inappropriate of your teacher and she shouldn't have her students read a book like that without consent from all the parents. She could get in serious trouble for that.

I'm in seventh grade too! My homeroom teacher talks about this type of stuff all the time. Just accept it, she is preparing you for the real world. :)

yeah, weird. Maybe your parents should ask the principal why this is happening in class?
