I don't know when I heard about the birds and the bees. I knew about sex way before my mom even tried to tell me anything. My relationship with my parents doesn't really mold me as a young adult. I've learned a lot more without them than I have from them so I think that I'm pretty okay without learning from them. These two things may be connected for other people because I learn things from outside sources and not from them.
ReplyDeleteI learned it early. I developed early so my mom told me when I was about 7.
ReplyDeleteI think that the fact that my mom and I can talk casually about serious matters helps me to be able to talk to her about anything. I think that my development as a young adult has been greatly impacted by the fact that I have an open relationship with my mom.
Yes and no. I guess that if you felt awkward when your parent gave you the talk then it was harder for you to tell them anything related to your personal life thus making your young adult hood harder.
I really don't remember when or even if my parents taught me about the birds and the bees.
ReplyDeleteMy relationship with my parents is difficult. I don't feel comfortable going into much detail but imma say that as a young adult my relationship with my dad grows and it still grows.
I don't think these two things are connected at all.
When i was 8 years old i knew about the so called birds and bees story i was well aware of these things. Me and my parents share a very cold relationship and they were not the ones who taught me i learneded things by my self and not with their assistance i never needed to listen to that tale just because it seemed childish and not worth the time. The two nay or may not be connected i have never been very close with my family due to their constant attacks on my character though they nothing about who i truly am. I do not know if they are connected so i cant really say if they are connected.
ReplyDeleteI learned about the "Birds and the Bees" when I was a very young child and my parents did not tell me. My Dad lied to me and I just never asked my mom. But I think I learned it when I was 7 or 8, from channel 95. My relationship with my parents makes me aware of the things not to do and things to do. My father is strung out, so he kinda toughened me up becuase I had to toughen up due to him never being there. It makes me feel hate toward drugs and pushes me away from that as a young adult and to be wise about all of my decision making. My mother has always been there in body form sometimes not in spirit, we have had a rocky relationship and huge fallouts. But we both have grown as people and as a mother and a son. She makes me want to be a better person then her because she puts that in me very strong.
ReplyDeleteThese things in a way are indeed connected, because sex will either mature you or break you. You parents exposing you to certain things will very well influence your adulthood.
I was probably 10 at the time. My older cousin asked me if i knew anything about sex of course i knew what the word was but not about it. So i grew up knowing what most other kids didnt and thats what sex was. Later on when i was about 12 my parents tried to have that sex conversaion with me but it didnt work. This was kind of the starting point when i began to grew more independent from my parents. I do have a good relation with my parents but im more unneeding of them today. These both situations do kind of tie together because it is a parents duty to teach their kid about sex first hand. But i dont think it should ruin a parnet-kid relationship. Unless the kid is a pervert who just hates their parents.
ReplyDeletei think that i was at least 10 years old when i learned about "the birds and the bees". i think that i have a good relationship with my parent and it molds me as a young adult because they are not afraid to talk to me about stuff that would help in the future to live a good life. these two things are connected because your parents don't tell you about these things then your gonna have it hard when you expierence something that you don't know about becaue then you will be tuck in a situation that you could have avoided if you would have talked to your parents before.
ReplyDeleteWhen i learned about the birds and the bees it was 14 or 15. my father didn't talk to me about it because i know he wasn't ready to talk about it. so i went to my mother. even though i don't live with my mother she was still willing to talk to me. i asked my father before about stuff like this but his reponse was, you don't need to talk about that yet. it was disappointing, but i have aunts and a mother that was willing.
ReplyDeletemy relationship with my parents do mold me as a young adult. my relationship with my father isn't the best but it is still there and i am learn a lot from him. we are working on it and that's what matters. however, i do connect with my mother more because she is a woman, and she knows what i go through. it is hard to relate to my father because he is the only parent that is raising me, and i am the only child. in addition to that, he is a male, and it is hard for him to picture what i go through. he is still there when i need to talk to him though.
these things are connected because depending on the relationship with your parents will determine if you even had the talk about the birds and the bees, and if they were willing to talk to you. that's how i feel about it.
I was about 10 years old and I asked my cousin how babies were made and he told me the whole story.
ReplyDeleteI think a relationship with your parents molds someone as a young adult because parents influence their children and they give advice to their kids. The more of a relationship someone has with their parents, the more they come out to be like their parents and do what their parents want them to do.
1) When I first learned about "the birds and the bees", was when I was about ten or eleven.
ReplyDelete2) I believe that my relationship with my parents have gotten better as I became older. I think that the better the relationship with your parents the more information you know about being an adult. Your parents basically have been through everything and their trying to guide you in the right direction.
3) Yes, I believe that these two things are related because, in order for you to be able to talk to your parents about sex, you have to have an open relationship with them and feel comfortable to discuss things like that.
I can't really remember when I first learned about the birds and the bee's but I know I had a concept of it when I was younger just from being in school and listening and observing conversations. I was young when I learned the concept but as far knowing what sex really is I didn't know it was so graphic. I just thought it was a hump type of thing. My relationships with my parents molds me because I learn from them. I see what they do and take their advice sometimes, and it helps me see if it's a lead I would want to follow or not. My mom tried to talk to me about sex but the conversation was very uncomfortable because I don't really like talking to her about things. I think that parents could tell us anything but the final descision comes down to ours.
ReplyDeleteI dont think my mom ever had "the birds and the bees" talk with me. I think she was scared of the reality that i was going to come of age so she avoided it as much as possible. So i learned my own way.
ReplyDeleteIt molds you as an adult because they prepare you for the life thats coming it may not be the same because life back then and life no is way different. But its always good to be close to them or at least get as much info from them and compare it to the world that we live in. You are your parents as you get older you do all the same things that your parents do or did and you dont even notice it half the time.
They are connected because your parents are here to help you and get through thing that you dont understand. They educate you for the worse or the best things that happin to you in life. They accept you no matter what your decisions are in life.
My Virgin ears have never heard about any of this talk about the "birds && the bees" but when I went to Ronald H. Brown I asked my girlfriend could I do it to her but didn't know what it meant I just heard my cousin ask his girl so I thought I should do the same. My mom and I have a great relationship we talk about everything but me and my dad are on && off but he just knows what I do because I'm his son. But they have taught me well and I turned out great. Yes, reguardless if your parents talk to you about sex or try to prevent it its gonna happpen they just have to live with it.
ReplyDelete1.) When I learned about "the birds and the bees", I was at a very young age. I just remember my mom sitting me down and having a talk with me
ReplyDelete2.) My relationship with my parents is okay. Me and my dad rarely talk about anything. Whenever we do see each other, its never too serious. My mom and me always be bumping heads. I know that I can go to her about anything, but at the same time I just can't talk to her about things.
3.) I can see these two being connected and then I can't see them being connected. They both involve awkward conversations but at the same time, you have your parents helping you out
when i learned about the birds and the bees i was around 11 or 12.
ReplyDeleteI think your relationship with your parent molds your personality. your actions are based on the way you grow up and the things that they teach you as you grow older, the things they accept and disapprove of,if they motivate you and push you to do better then you are more likely to succeed rather then if they let you run wild and didnt care about your success.
they are kind of connected but most of the time its not your parent that teach you about the birds and the bees it friends.
I have no idea how old I was when I learned about the birds and the bees. My mom definintely had the talk with me but I think she really talked to me when I got older, maybe at about the age of 13. My relationship with my parents definitely molds me as a young adult. I take their advise, although my choice is my choice. My parents sometimes make a very big impact on the choices I make. Yes these two things are connected in many ways. If you have a close relationship with your parents its easy to tell them things and ask them questions.
ReplyDeleteWhen I learned about the birds and the bee’s I was in 8th grade so I had to be like 13 or 14.
ReplyDeleteAs I have gotten older I definitely have gotten better over time. I think it’s like that with everybody’s parents as you get older they give you more trust. When I was younger my mom used to act like I was such a big baby if I went out with friends she would call every 6 minutes and even come to where we were at by “accident”. As I gotten older she doesn’t even call as long as I’m in the house by curfew she doesn’t bother me. It all has to do with the trust and the relationship you have with your parents.
I think my mom told me about the “talk” when I was around 10-12 years old…somewhere around then. I think by the time a boy or girl begins to grow up, and I mean after the whole attitude phase, they will start to want to get more close to their parents. Like when kids finally decide that they want to wash their own clothing, they may ask mommy for directions. Same with the term birds and bees. When ever children decide they want to know about it, they may ask their parents, or their friends and turn up pregnant a couple months later. But none the less, you should always have mom or dad, or grandma, grandpa, uncle bill, aunt, or any other member of your family to give you appropriate information on your curiosity. I do believe they are connected. Like if you ask your parents about it, your relationship with them will get stronger and closer to each other.
ReplyDelete• The expression “the bird and the bees” I learned about it sometime around fifth grade but not exactly what it is, just the basic concept of it.
ReplyDelete• I think that if you have a good relationship with your parents as a teenager then you will mold into a fine young adult. Because you probably would have learned to be social with your parents and tell them everything. You would also now when to come talk to your parents about something serious and they will probably help you in your time of need; instead of you doing something you’ll regret.
• I think that the two are connected because if you have a good relationship with your parents then you would have learned about the bird and the bees. In order for you to even have that conversation you have to be close with your parents. But since, in today’s time many of the generation growing up don’t have a nice relationship with their parents they will miss out on it.
i think i learned about the birds and the bees when i was in 5th grade. this counseler lady would come in and talk about it. i think she was part of a some program so she would come in once in two weeks or so and would educate us about sex and... diseases. my parents never sat me down and talked about sex like some other parents do. i learned it in school and brought my knowledge back home and they were sort of surprised that i knew about sex at the age of 11 but they didnt mind i guess. my relationship with my parents as a young adult isnt as awkward as some people think. they're ok with me knowing about sex and stuff. we joke about it here and there too... so.. it's not that big of a deal. the two things can be connected if someone is close to their parents like i am. sex is just human nature so it's not like you can avoid it.
ReplyDeleteI never learned about the bidr and the bees because my mom always considered me as her "baby" even though I was the oldest. She figured talking about that would mean that I'm growig up and she didn't want me to grow up, she wanted me to stay little as long as possible. Well my mom got sick in the 9th grade so I had to take care of my sisters and I. Even though I was treated as her baby, her being sick molded me. It forced me to become more independent. I think that if she had not got sick I probably wouldn't even know bout birds and bees, well I probably would of figured it out with out her telling me. I think these 2 things are connected sometimes. I say sometimes because a child will listen, a teenager gets curious, but eventually learn. I think this is what molds them into a young adult.
ReplyDeleteI'm really not sure when I learned about the birds and the bees. I really wasn't like taught by the method of the birds and the bees.
ReplyDeleteI think my parents molds me as a young adult by teaching me responsibility and how to take care of ourselves.
I guess you can say that there connected in a way. By our parents teaching us about the birds and bees it molds us to young adults.
I learned that Sigmund Freud came up with dream interpretations. Also with the personality structure, which are the id, ego, and superego. Also the stages of personality, which are oral, anal, phallic,and latency. He also came up with the Electra complex and the Oedipus story. I learned that he did crack for 8yrs and he was a medical person, not like a pyschologist professor.
