When I was that young I did ask my mom about sex, and she was very open and honest about it. I would have never felt the need to ask anyone else. I think if a young kid is asking about it in a forum like this it is because their parents aren't giving them good information, or any at all.
I don't know why young children seem more interested in sex than I was at their age (am, by the way, only 24 years old). Maybe I was just abnormal. But I think that it has a lot to do with how much sex is marketed towards young girls these days. I have seen toddler shoes with hooker heels in department stores. Thats just wrong. But I suppose that it was only a matter of time before people started to want to make their kids look like sex objects too.
Ever seen the Paris Hilton episode of South Park? They didn't just make that up. If you don't notice that that kind of attitude is really going around these days, you are blind.
Promiscuity is not sexual liberation.
Its too bad that parents don't take the time to teach their children that, because the media is teaching them that promiscuity is the path to happiness and empowerment.

because parents are too busy with their own lives anymore to know what their kids are doing. 11-14 year old girls are getting pregnant. They are young and dumb and listen to the advice of friends. Most parents now will not sit down with their kids and explain sex. They feel the kids are too young and its awkward. Guess what. Its happening...
Theres also a higher number of single parent homes now and women having kids with multiple partners...its a message they are sending to their children. To the girls, hey this is how ya have fun....revolving door. To the boys, stick it in get it wet then slam the door when ya leave the kid cryin in the womb.
When parents do not take an active role in their childrens lives this is the result. Parents need a major wake up call

I am thankful I do not have a pre-teen kid right now. All we need do is look to the media, TV, MTV, celebrities, clothing manufactureres, cosmetic companies, toy manufacturers, etc. [Barbie/Mattel has a bling-bling convertible corvette for pete's sake] Our girls have low self esteem and turn to more obvious measures to get that loved feeling. They are confused. Loving someone doesn't mean you have to have sex with them... Our boys are in love with the gansta mentality becasue it makes them feel respected. They dream of easy money and slutty girls. The reality is - the whole thing is tragic and wrong. Each generation that comes up is more messed up than the one before. I don't know what the answer is but parents do play an important role in keeping their child balanced and grounded.

Or better - why aren't they out there playing sport and simply being kids? !
At 11, I thought boys were aliens that were sent here to make our lives a misery ( so what's changed . hmm?! lol)...I wasn't out to "turn on" a pre-pubescent who wouldn't know what to do with his penis anyway (apart from playing with it) - and that's obvious by the amount of q's from young boys on here asking what do their g/fs like (puhleese !)
I agree with the letting them play with dolls and trains until they put the toys away themselves - not pushing them into relationships they have no idea about how to control - and how many sicko's prey on these types of young ones for their own self gratification?......
Let kids be kids for as long as they like - they'll be adults having to deal with adult problems for a long, long time....
BTW great comment minnie - I agree kids(and parents) are bombarded by so much from the media, and this doesn't help in any way....

Sex & Boy/girl Relationship is hot topic for pre teens && teens. Call of nature....
Sometimes this can cause them to neglect other aspect in their life e.g. studies.
They want to explore and discover about the opposite sex
They don't ask parents ... because of "secrets" we all have this Secrets.... sexuality is one of these... will you tell your mother/father about your sex life... ? No right... does that answer you ?

They feel they should be a turn on to boys cause magazines, internet and television are sending messages to her about having sex, and what boys want in a girl, she is afraid to talk to you because it will be weird talking to your parent about such a personal thing

many teens are uncomfortable talking with their parents about sex. i figure on yahoo answers they can remain anonymous and hope someone gives them the right advice or directs them to a website to help them. it just seems that grades dont matter to a lot of teens not all but a lot of them. they want to take the easy way out by getting pregnant and then living on welfare its much easier to them than the real world or they have parents who give them everything so why bother getting good grades

If their parents were taking proper care of them, they would not be able to post those questions on here. Obviously, they are being neglected and looking for love in all the wrong places.
