I would say that a lot of our kids don't know much about contraception. I can say that MY sex ed at school was pretty much non existent. Technically we had it but it was rubbish.

It's difficult for me to understand how you can not know such a thing.
It's so common overhere. I probably already knew what a condom was when I was like... 8 years old or so? So that's... 1992. And sex education only took of a couple of years later here. I guess people are pretty open about that, I dunno.
I remember getting a little sex ed and condoms at school when I was twelve.
Can't remember they really tought me anything new. Well I guess that's a good thing
