Heh. Catholic school survivor here: I thought if I peed into a toilet and mixed it with a girl's pee, a baby would be made in the sewer.
Just imagining sewer babies makes me laugh
Also "sewer babies" sounds line a good band name
This whole thread is a great origin story for tmnt
Sure, and if it touches a turtle then you get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's actually their origin story.
This does happen, where do you think the sewer dwellers come from?
I really want this be a joke. Sadly I know how shitty catholics can be about sex Ed, so I'm sorry.
Ontarian here. The joke is that Catholic high schools here have daycares in them because their sex Ed is non-existent.
I'm going to go on a limb and guess that the Catholic school system in Ontario is run by mostly laypeople and a few secular priests instead of one of the orders renowned for their teaching ministry, like the Jesuits.
There are four separate school systems in Ontario not including private schools. English public, English Catholic, French public, and French catholic.
Can't imagine how much waste there is in a system with four departments doing the same thing.
There should be one school system with a French and English. No catholic influences at all.
It's so sad what parents and schools do to kids by withholding basic health info to keep them from being "promiscuous." I knew an older woman who told me when she got her first period that she didn't know what was happening and she was terrified. She didn't want to tell her parents, because they just didn't talk about body stuff, so she waded waist deep in a cold stream to try and stop the bleeding.
Fun fact, this is precisely why the first suicide hotline was implemented in the US.
A young girl killed herself because she got her first period and thought she had gotten an STD. She had no one to talk to and took her own life.
It’s story like this that make me viscerally angry at people who preach abstinence only sex education. You can’t just tell young people to ignore the changes happening to their bodies, it only leads to confusion, mistakes, and fear.
Actually, a small correction: the suicide hotline connected to the story is from the UK, not the USA.
It was actually one of the first crisis hotlines not just in the UK, but also in the world. It was founded in 1953 and the organization's name is the Samaritans. It was also founded by a priest!
You can look this info up on Wikipedia.
Must've been heavy petting.
My first partner said oral sex could cause pregnancy. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THEM IN MY MOUTH BUT THEY WOULDN’T RELENT
hand stuff was fine though I guess
If it's any consolation, when they finally learnt the truth they probably looked back at those moments with tremendous regret.
That’s fair. I JUST WANTED TO DO THE THING aaaaaaaaaaa
For a day in primary school I believed girls could get pregnant by touching them because DNA was transferred to touching skin
That was thanks to badly designed primary school sex-ed videos that they made us watch in primary school that avoided mentioning the adult things
When I was in school and we were doing sex ed one of the girls put up her hand and said, my sister does this. Which all the teachers look sort of awkward about. Later on I learnt that her sister was a prostitute and so, yeah, it was a relevant comment.
Sort of awkward though that are 13-year-old is aware of it
It's rare, but pregnancy has been known to be caused by 'heavy petting'.
The vet said my dog needed to lose weight, and now I've got a child, so there's your evidence.
Well pet me like one of your dogs
Heavy petting
Who the everloving fuck has a thought like this and goes onto Twitter to post it at 5:20 in the morning?
You're missing the point of the message, like many here.
She doesn't specify when this happened. Maybe when she was 13? So, still a kid in school.
And what a school: A fucking Catholic school who put bullshit in her head. Like "if you touch boys, you'll get pregnant!!!!!!"
That's what she is saying: That religious schools are bullshit.
She points out it was her first period, so yes, a child, a brainwashed-by-religious-idiots child.
I actually thought that too when I was little. That if you weren't pregnant you were on your period. Not by the time I got mine though.
Okay i get it, but how do you not know that your period ends, but know that if it does it could be because of pregnancy
