DD12 (6th grade) is having sex ed at school. This is a Texas public school so they are teaching an abstinence curriculum. She comes home every night and has to INTERVIEW me about issues....I keep waiting for some questions that get WAY too personal
but so far so good.
Last night we talked about abstinence. She signed an abstinence pledge. Does this only happen at public school only in the Bible belt? I'd love for her to stay chaste until she is married but aren't there parents out there for whom this is not a big deal? I think 12 is a bit to young to tell a child that maybe if they aren't married by 35, they may break their pledge.
Here's one funny thing: One interview question was, "How will you as a parent help me keep my chastity pledge?" I said, "I'll send you to a convent." The innocent little thing actually wrote that down-I had to tell her it was a joke!
