Am I immature?

Question

Ok, so I'm 13 years old and at school, the teacher was talking about s*x. She was telling us that 10% of 13 year olds do it. She was telling us ALL we needed to know about it (way too much info) Whenever she said that word I got upset and wished she would stop talking about it. Am I just really immature, or is it normal? I can't even say this word outloud, it's like as bad as saying the F word lol. Please help!

Answer 1

You are not crazy and you don't need to seek help. This is a normal response. It's normal for your age and your feelings about it will change as you get older. Trust me, what you are going through is totally normal. No need to worry!!

Answer 2

I believe it's age appropriate behavior. As you mature, you'll find that the topic becomes less difficult to discuss although I do support s*x education in school so please do pay attention! =)

Answer 3

You are having normal reactions for someone not raised to speak about s*x.

Many of us were raised like that, and I'm guessing you have been, too.

Well, I was very bright and talented, and was pregnant at 17.

My son is 13 now, and I make sure to be able to talk to him, and he can talk to me.  (And I'm the mom, and it's still comfortable.)

He crosses the lines, and sometimes I do, too, especially when a movie makes a reference and he gets it, or even he jokes himself.

But you know what?  I don't want him to be a parent so young.

Still, I can't imagine, even at 30, ever having a convo about s*x with my parents.

It's a rough world we live in, after the whole Victorian/Puritan Era, in which s*x was perceived as dirty, and only a duty for a woman.  We women were meant to be pure and clean and not want it, enjoy it, lest we think we were evil.

But a new world is dawning.

You all have to open up and learn, or we will have even more disease and young mothers than we do now.

You will get over the shock.

And then, hopefully you will be able to have an open relationship with any young man in your life WHEN your time has finally come.

Good luck!

Answer 4

It's completely understandable. It's

really embaressing and awkward

to talk about. You are definately

not immature. It's completely

normal.

Answer 5

wow no you are not but every bodys tells me that i hate it

Answer 6

immature!

Answer 7

I dont think so...

It's a little odd, but not immature lol

I dont want ANYTHING to do w/s*x, but dont mind saying the word "s*x" lol

But that subject IS an uncomfortable subject to talk about

So maybe that's why

Answer 8

You - my dear are a treasure. There are so many kids who are so sure of themselves and feel that they are all grown up and know everything about everything! s*x is for grown ups. You are too young. When your time comes you will know that you are ready.. Don't feel pressured to be grown up before your time. Talk to your Mum/Mom depending on country. The only reason you need to know is so that you don't do it before you are ready.  Good luck and be happy!!

Answer 9

Don't worry, I'm 13 and I think we shouldn't even be told where babys come from til we are 18.

Answer 10

Well i think its normal to feel awkward i had health last semester and my teacher is a total freak i know what you mean. most people feel the same way but you will soon get over it.

Answer 11

Its not immature, you may just feel awkward about talking about it. I know i was. In the 7th grade, our teacher made us scream every s*x word out loud so we wouldnt be immature about it. Want to know what i did? I was so awkward feeling about it, since i was wearing a sweatshirt,  i put my hood on, pulled the strings to look like kenny from southpark, and put my head down with my face redder than an apple.

Answer 12

It's not that you're immature. Not in the way you're thinking of it.

You're immature in the fact that you're new to the concept of s*x and making love, etc. (not that you act like a child and giggle when the teacher says penius). Are you following? And besides, the Talk is always awkward and you'd always rather be somewhere else. I remember those good old days... lol.

Answer 13

well you are a teenager, so thats normal but if you feel unconfortable you should talk to your teacher and that shouldn´t been an issue. no worries¡¡¡

Answer 14

Well i think its good that you think like that. Don't have s*x early it can ruin your life. I don't think your immature. Your just really really smart for staying away and not even associating yourself with that word. I'm in 8th grade and 6 of 9 girls have already had s*x. Stay clean. s*x is a 3 letter word with really l-o-n-g consequences

Answer 15

at least you didn't laugh.  it is a lot better to be disgusted by it than to be intrigued by it.  so yes, it is normal.

Answer 16

your normal and young.  but do try and pay attention.  I'm sure the info is very informative.

Answer 17

i wudnt say your immature just not ready to talk aout this subject. talk to your parents and teacher about it and mayb you wont have to take that class

Answer 18

no your not immature its just kids grow up where that word is not use normally around them, so its weird if someone bring it up in a normal activities

as you go on people will talk about it more and you will get more comfortable,

don't worry this doesn't last forever

p.s. your lucky i had health class in 2nd grade and up. (s*x-ed in 5)

Answer 19

Sorry, hun, but I'd have to say yes.

Although you are still young, you will have to get used the word.

Boys your age are going to be talking about it a lot, but to no avail.

You need to take it seriously though and learn that s*x is a part of life and that there is nothing upsetting about it.

Answer 20

lol Some people get freaked out at the thought of hearing about it.As you get older it will become more natural to you.

Answer 21

It is normal i am 13 and i feel that way all the time lolz

Answer 22

No, you are a modest young lady which is rare these days. Stay as sweet as you are. It sounds like that teacher was much too frank.  I hope she also told you the dangers involved.

Answer 23

Laughing or feeling uncomfortable about things of a sexual nature SHOULD be normal at your age.  There is nothing wrong with you for KNOWING you are too young to be interested in all the gory details.  At least you're not hyper curious which often leads to experimentation.  

Stay pure!  It's a good thing.

Answer 24

Um kind of, but don't worry you'll grow up

Answer 25

All kids your age are immature, its natural.

Answer 26

your probably just not comfortable talking about that kind of stuff

Answer 27

no your not your smart i was like that when i was in school too so dont worry you r very smart to feel that way i ended up waiting to i was almost 18 before i had s*x and i m soo glad that i did if u dont feel comtfable heaing bout the next time she talks bout it have your mom or dad to write a notw saying that they dont want u knowing bout it cause u dont feel right hearing bout it and if that dont work just set there and doddle or something so u dont have to pay attetion to her she should have sent home notes asking if she chould talk bout it in the frist palce

Answer 28

i mean its okay because most kids that are your age are immature when it comes to that  subject so its normal and nothing to worry about

Answer 29

No your 13, alot of kids your age aren't ready to get into that stuff yet. As long as you know enough about it, its okay if you don't want to repeat it. Now if your were 18... then we would have to worry. ;)

You're fine. I didn't want anything to do with that when I was your age.

Answer 30

(h5) i am immature too except I am 14. Don't wprry it's a great thing bein ga kid, it's more fun and mature is just another word for boring.

Answer 31

[I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible]

You're just a prude; it's no biggy.

You'll grow out of it in a couple years ; )
