Sex Questions from Seventh Graders

I just came across this amazing series of ten questions about sex posed by seventh graders.  I've spent the last few years trying to live in the minds of girls who are only a few years older than these anonymous question askers and exploring these exact topics.  We think of kids being so mature today, but these questions show just how innocent and confused and bashful and honest 13-year-olds can be behind that facade of sometimes-false maturity.  It makes you want to laugh and cry and give them a hug.  (And it makes you want to let them have some real sex ed classes, of course, but that's another story.)
