I definitely talk to my kids about sex. I feel it's part of my responsibility as a parent. However, it can be difficult to start a conversation without feeling like you've dropped a conversational bombshell that will just shut down conversation.

I have a suggestion, bring it up in relation to something on TV or in a movie. You could even rent a movie that has a theme abot teenagers and sex. Then use that to bring it up: "Mom, this movie is absolutely right. A lot of my friends are sexually active, and there's a lot of pressure to conform..."

I also like the letter idea.

Good luck with this. I applaud you for wanting to talk about this.
