My stepdad said that I can't talk about sex until I'm 30. I am still a teen. He said this because I told my cousin that she shouldn't give me any rainbowed clothing that she said she was going to give me. He thought I was talking about sex and he said that I ''can't talk about sex until I'm 30.'' I decided that I'm still going to talk about it anyways once I turn 18. Is this the right idea or should I listen to him? I don't think I should because in more than 2 years I'll be 18 and will be able to talk about grown-up stuff anyway.

Sounds like he's like a lottttt of parents. He's scared because his "little girl" is growing up. Most parents feel the same way. All my children are grown and married now but when they were teenagers, I was almost panicky because I realized they were growing up on me and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it. I, too, told my children they couldn't date until they were 30....lol......Some parents just find it really hard to let their "babies" grow up.. You probably feel like he's just being mean to you but he isn't. He doesn't mean to sound that way. He's just finding it hard to accept that you are growing up and one day, he's gonna have to let you go. Just talk to him and reassure him that you will always be his "little girl" and NOTHING will ever change that. I think he'll really appreciate hearing that from you.

Ur old enough to talk about what the hell u want. With a topic so important in todays society I dont understand why he does not want to talk about it with u. Being uneducated with the basics in this department can lead to disasters when u are ready to become sexually active. If u cant talk to him about this then u should pick up a book, look on the internet or talk to ur doctor so u can know the facts and how to protect urself the correct way when ur ready. Moreover, I would stay away from rainbows due to that is the major symbol for homosexuals (unless u are one then do what u do). :-)

To be honest with you, Moms and dads should talk about sex with their kids at an early age. The reason being is that, kids will have the education in order to keep safe from making bad decisions. You really can't tell kids not to talk about sex, especially if they are curious. Parents need to be able to talk to their kids about anything,Especially SEX. So the answer is yes you should be talking to your parents about sex!!!

I say it's normal to think and talk about sex before you turn 18 since hormones. I would just advise you to not have sex until it's right for you. Your step-dad just does not want to give you the "sex" talk, which they say every parent should do.

There's this thing called freedom of speech.......
Tell him he might be happy being ignorant all his life but you don't plan on it. There's nothing wrong with talking about sex for gods sake it's 2007. At your age it's completely natural to have questions about it and be thinking about it. And come on, 30? Does he want you to become a nun too? He sounds like a complete nutter.

I think you made it all up, lol. Most people tell their kids about sex when they are like 7. I can't imagine someone telling you that you can't talk about it until you are 30 and be serious when they say it. That's the goofiest thing I've ever heard of!

You can talk about anything you want to talk about once you are 18. He is going too far.

what the hell are you doing posting questions on a school day? get back to class. Seriously you should talk about it rather than do it before you are ready and safe. I would also ask him what rainbo clothes has to do with sex. That will get him to shut up real fast.

You can talk about whatever the hell you want. It's a free country. If he has a problem with that, look no further than to which the grounds of this great nation have been founded upon.

30? C'mon, that's ridiculous. I think you can talk about sex any time you want or feel like you need to. 30 sounds like a joke.
