I got a younger friend (14) askin me questions but Im not sure how to answer without scarin him or somthin. hes just startin puberty. How would you handle this?

[Lord C]

There's nothing too horrific about it! If you feel it's going to scare him just word it nicely with puppies amd flowers :)

[Contra]

I don't think you would scare him, it's a normal part of human development, besides, he's not that young.

yeah, 14's not that young to be asking questions- and I think it's good that he's asking questions rather than just trying to figure it out on his own. Just be totally honest about everything, and he should be ok with it. I didn't really have a problem when we talked about it in health class in school, so he should be ok.

Share what you are comfortable with, or just point him to this site!! Everyone here will help him out!

I would tell him everything he wants to know. Hes 14, not its not young AT ALL! By 14 a teen has a right to know about all of this. And I dont see how you can scare him?

[dushanbe4]

Redirect him here, perhaps?
Or just straight-up tell him. When I was 14 I'd already learned everything there was to know off the internet, I very much doubt that you'll frighten him off :P

he is 14... my lil bro is 11 and he knows it ALL... just tell him...
