to #21 and #23

agreed. In case you parents don’t know, us teens are very inquisitive. So we will find the answers, wether by online, or friends. I have a classmate who found out by reading her mother’s books! So if you’d be straightforward, you won’t wonder why your children don’t share things with you anymore.

I know everything. and #21, i did not look on internet. believe it or not, it was a classmate. I hope parents out there are not ignorant. Please tell your children. They know EVERYTHING. Even speeches such as these wont stop it. Wether its in camp, school, from a friend, or wtvr, we know. We are not shut down in a cage.

best speaker on earth!!

Now in todays time it is impossible to hide these things from us. We are not locked up ina cage and blindfolded! We see things, hear things, and know things! If my mother is out there and reading this, i’d be happy to know! I want my parents to know what i know, but i can’t tell it straight to them.

I find the answers very vague….if things are being discussed openly, why is it so vague? we still have no idea how to speak to our kids….what should be said exactly? to be vague is going to mix people up.

Thank you so much

Will we be able to hear this online? please!!

is it possible to skype this so others can participate?
May 19, 2013 3:56 am

thanks.

Be honest
May 19, 2013 2:44 am

Being honest and open with ur children is the key as teens are much more exposed today more than before and will continue to do so, especially in a teen atmosphere the conversations come up. as we all know camp is where we got our education! so why not present things to them the Torah way first!!

Teenagers - Gender?
May 19, 2013 1:56 am
