Is it because their family tell them...I don't think so.

Schools offer sex education in Grade 5 or 7 here I believe
As a parent I taught My girls about Sex education so they would be safe.
My girls also knew about " wrong touches" from a very early age.
Parents are the best educators in My humble opinion

The same way we adults found out !
You can't tell me you didn't know about sex when you were a teenager. I wouldn't buy that.
The problem as I see it, is not that they know about sex, it is that they think sex is a recreational activity. "Do you want to go to the movies, go boating, or have sex ?" Too many young people have sex as something to do, rather than a show of love.
I see how the issue has changed in the last 40 years, and am afraid what it will be like in the next 40 years. How much worse can it get ?
There are 12 and 13 year old kids out there having sex - and probably some younger than that !

Chances are their families are hush-hush about sex. Teenagers are smart and they are open in their conversations. They can discuss sex from experience or what they have learned from their peers. I always wondered why parents cannot talk to their kids about sex. It's a natural feeling and should not be an embarrassment to the parents. I would rather answer their questions than have them learn it in the backseat of a Honda.

I have concern about "they are not allowed to." How do you not allow a kid to learn about something? Other than locking them in a closet I don't think that would be possible. The fact is, they learn about it from all of the outside sources listed above- but should be learning about it from their parents. If more parents would talk openly with their kids about this natural part of life, maybe the kids wouldn't be so eager to run out and experiment on their own. We need open communication with our kids about sex, drinking, drugs, dating, etc.

Who doesn't know about sex? What planet are you from? If you're older than 13 (at the max) and don't know what at LEAST heterosexual sex consists of, you must have been living under a rock. You can watch TV, read a magazine, you can get books from the library, observe animals doing it in your own back yard.......my family and friends both told me what was up.........so yes, teenagers learn about sex from all that is around them including (hopefully) their parents.

there'so hurry or worries to get to know it all. time will tell and will also learn in no time.
times have changed but parents being parents wre being protective for the undesirable consequences they all fear.
read it up, surf the internet . . . soon you'll know. . . about the physical part! dont miss out the emotional part too . . . its about the pther half thats hard to "know".
good luck and stay safe.

How did you learn? My friends all figured it out on our own,nobody ever gave me a birds and bees speech.I grew up in the 70's and it was nothing like that lame show they made.Maybe it was in Wisco.

It is somewhat of a natural instinct. But teens read, watch tv, talk amongst friends etc.

It is in the genes. I never talked about sex with my little dog, but now he is big he really like female dogs. When I was little, girls where stupid, now I like girls a lot. Same difference.

TV, movies, magazines, older friends, older siblings, experimentation, the internet, all kinds of ways.
