I called in and spoke about being 21 and struggling with wanting a regular social life. I will say that now, having a 12 year old daughter, I have two main thoughts on this subject. One being, she is the best friend I've ever had and I love every minute of our journey together. I also feel strongly about educating her about sex education. It's the hardest thing you ever do in your life-to be a parent. Combine that with the next hardest thing-being a teenager, and it can be a long road. I don't wish that on her and I would be very adamant about preventing it.
