Did your parents ever have a talk about sex or drugs with you? How old were you? Do you think it was too early, too late, or at just the right time?

Drugs at a early age but never talked about sex to me which was a big mistake.
-
After my Mom passed at 12 my wasted no time giving me that talk, best thing he did.
-
They never spoke to me about either. I learned about drugs & sex in school and from my friends. I think they were both too embarrassed to bring it up.

My parents talked to me about both of them. Sex first, though it was more about where babies come from, not how they get there... Friends and Cosmopolitan magazine filled in the rest of the details. As far as drugs, my parents were very open and honest about what they had seen and done in their time. I had several family members with serious addictions, and my father was in a band with a singer strung out on heroin. They were able to show me real life examples of why not to do hard drugs. Both were recreational pot smokers in their younger days, but they cautioned me on the illegality of it. I was 10 with the sex talk, 11 with the drug talk. Great timing for me on both. For me, both things were addressed before they were possibilities...

My mom told me to talk to my sister. She knew everything!

Not until it was way too late, like after I was in my 20's and married.

My parents never talked to me about sex; just too awkward. I learned about sex from my friends and at school. My mom did tell me about how bad drugs were, but never in a formal 'talk.' Mostly she focused on the dangers of smoking.

My parents never sat me down and gave me "the talk"...they did answer all my questions honestly, however. This was obviously over a period of time...there was no specific age at which I asked questions...they just answered what they thought I was capable of understanding at the age I was.
