How to make my Mom understand how I know about STDs?

My parents were talking about STD’s because their friend just caught something, I got in on the conversation because I learnt a lot about that stuff in sex-ed at school. My mom looked at me weirdly and was like “how would you know about STD’s” and I told her I learnt it in school. Im 18-years-old, I’ve been educated about it since sex-ed class in grade.8!! She said in her day they didn’t learn about that stuff in school. So now, she thinks I have something, she’s all suspicious. I don’t have anything. I don’t know how to convince her otherwise. How do I make my mom understand?

Answer #1

I know statistics are not everything… But try showing her some statistics… such as (http://www.avert.org/usastata.htm).

Its unbelievable how fast STDs are spreading among teens. The reason why they are spreading, is because so many teens are UNEDUCATED about these diseases or the consequences of unsafe sex.

Ultimately your parents may be in denial about you even needing any type of STD or SEX education… you are there child, and most parents dont want to believe that their child could be having sex. So of course it might make them uneasy about you know so much info on STDs.

Just let them know how important it is for kids to be educated about these things. And that you are glad to know so much because you can help others who dont know about STDs. Its a good thing your school is teaching these things!! -Ash
