I always said that the school motto should have been "Welcome to the Mothership".

You went to the U of Chicago?  My condolences.  My Grandma and Grandpa and one of my aunts went there and they're all socially...odd.  Yup, we'll go with odd.  Although you seem lovely, and as socially normal as most of the people in this group.  But if you get pregnant, we'll kill you.

I believe that sex-ed in my family can be summed up as such:
 
"If you ever get pregnant, I'll kill you.  Then I'll raise the baby while you go to college."

I had a pretty miserable adolescence (early and somewhat extreme development, parental divorce) at an all-girls school, and then proceeded to go that bastion of Social Normativity, the University of Chicago, so I know exactly how to make certain my kids will never have teenage sex.

FWIW, my parents NEVER talked to me about sex. To this day. I'm 39.
Therefore, I didn't talk to them about it either. There was no one I
was interested in in high school, so it wasn't really an issue until
college when I was no longer living in my parents' house, but still.
I guess they figured we got whatever needed in sex ed class, the last
of which I think was maybe 8th grade? Maybe if I did have a
boyfriend it would have come up, but my brother had a girlfriend, I
think, and I still don't think it came up, at least not in my
presence and not that he told me about. I decided independently that
I didn't want to do it just to say I had done it if I wasn't in a
relationship, and I really didn't like my high school classmates
much, so it wasn't an issue. Maybe my parents were more concerned
with my lack of friends than the possibility of having too-close
friends. Who knows?
