We only talked about getting a period, which got a lot of laughs. That's all I remember. Then we had Health one year as sophomores, but hardly ever discussed sex ed. the teacher was a lesbian who told us how the different forms of birth control didn't work. I never paid attention in school so I wonder---maybe we did discuss sex ed but my mind was a million miles away.xxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568937298222307017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-40313235984473133402007-10-22T00:09:00.000+01:002007-10-22T00:09:00.000+01:00Great post!Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-59148091512734859542007-10-21T06:53:00.000+01:002007-10-21T06:53:00.000+01:00Ha-ha..Michael Jackson.

It occurs to me there are millions of people under 30 who have no idea Jackson was once a young black male.<BR/>He went some where "over the top even for a performer" just after Thriller - I can remember the sequined outfit he wore when he showed up at the White House. Even Ronaldus Magnus and Nancy, no strangers to Hollywood types, gave him a quizzical look.\<BR/><BR/>K.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-67356812981817248202007-10-21T03:11:00.000+01:002007-10-21T03:11:00.000+01:00For us it was Michael Jackson (presurgery and ever...For us it was Michael Jackson (presurgery and everything else!!!) and Duran Duran.

Outside of Michelangelo's David 16 year old girls didn't have many choices! I think if I had been exposed to the little worksheets[?] Jackie posted, I'd have thought adults psycho. Fish? God wielding a big club? Whatever. <BR/><BR/>As far as "too much, too soon" it's good to remember the old joke:<BR/><BR/>Bobby comes home one day and asks his parents "Where did I come from?" They thought he was young at 8 to be asking such things, but decided it was better if they, as parents tell him the facts of life, rather than get them from some street corner. So the put together a presentation for him, showing some graphic details etc. And said: "Well, son, now that you know, tell us what prompted the question." Bobby said "Billy said he was from Pittsburgh, so I wondered where I was from."gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-87282007807603832692007-10-20T23:33:00.000+01:002007-10-20T23:33:00.000+01:00I remember the Burt Reynolds spread, but was too y...I remember the Burt Reynolds spread, but was too young to care. Now that I'm older, still don't care. Burt Reynolds? Eewww!<BR/><BR/>My generation like Scott Baio and John Travolta...and Andy Gibb. It's a good thing that school-aged fancies are fickle.<BR/><BR/>I went to public school and had more sex ed than you. First in 5th, again in 7th (you were called a "sexpert" if you did well in the class), and again in 12th. Our education stopped this side of the banana.<BR/><BR/>Huge reason I am glad I will be homeschooling as I found much of this to be scandalizing to our innocence. My kids won't be sheltered, but neither will they be harmed by too much info too soon.swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-43287552795112161172007-10-20T22:14:00.000+01:002007-10-20T22:14:00.000+01:00Adele, Yeah, but he wasn't an "old guy" when we we...Adele, Yeah, but he wasn't an "old guy" when we were trying to look at him.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-31072973986051649512007-10-20T21:37:00.000+01:002007-10-20T21:37:00.000+01:00Gina!

Let me put it this way.
