[quote=Anonymous]My kids are young, so can't answer that part yet. :)

My younger sister told my other sister. Not right away, but kind of soon after.  We went into "inform her about everything" mode--from contraception and STD prevention, to what makes for a good relationship.  And we got her a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves.

But parents, no, did not tell parents. Parents were, however, not oblivious to the possibilities. Mother especially had always been informative about biology, even at a young age, and both were always informative about being respectful and respected in any close friendship or romantic relationship. I think the message generally was: "It's never wrong to wait."

What I think was missing was access to birth control through the parents. Oral contraceptives: not made available, because no communication on this front.  Not sure that parents would've ponied up for this, either. I think they've have adopted a strategy of "You're too young, we won't pay because it feels like we support it."  Hmmm, this is an interesting thought experiment: What would they have done???  Maybe they'd have told us to earn our own money to pay?  I don't know...[/quote]
