...For me to be overtly sexual?

I know most of you would say no if I was your "average Joe" adult, but I'm not, I'm 13 years old.

And I do all the things a horny teen would do. I won't say what I do, you all pretty much know so I don't really need to say anything...

It makes me feel wrong though. I feel like I'm doing something bad, so I feel the need to hide it from people...

I know I'm right in the middle of that awkward teenage puberty stage, but I was wondering, for you adults out there, is it wrong for someone my age to be doing this things, and for those of you that are parents, how would you react if you caught your child doing it?

Discuss...

Talk to your parent or school counsellor.

Why are you not in school today???

You know, I think most of us are not going to be able to discuss this with you..

I can appreciate the fact you need advise, but I for one am not comfortable discussing sex of ANY kind with a 13 year old child...

I know you want validation, but its just not something I can give to you... It is great that you wanna talk about things and learn from our experience But can you not go to your parents? They probably arent as "uncool" as you think they are.. In fact, they would probably feel pretty good about themselves if you did go to them for advise... parents get off on that stuff!

These are just my feelings and not nessasarily those of the org...

I agree. I don't think this is for strange adults on a music site to discuss with you.

**Depending on where he lives, they might not have gone back yet.

I start tomorrow, but our kids don't come back until next Tuesday.

In Canada school doesn't start until week.

But can you not go to your parents?

Well having overtly Christian parents doesn't exactly help...they most likely would be shocked and would tell me to pray or something...

It's totally normal (and healthy!) for a 13 year old to have sexual thoughts and feelings and for those to overwhelm you at times.

And if you're acting on them in a solo capacity (if you know what I mean) that's totally normal and healthy also.

There are plenty of web resources out there where you can get good information. Planned Parenthood is a good one. Or see what resources your school may provide or suggest.

good answer Carrie!

yeah...it's totally normal....but it is PRIVATE...hence why you probably are inclinded to hide it, which is a good move on your part.

As a parent of 2 young boys...if my boys were NOT doing that at your age....I would probably be concerned. you are perfectly fine...don't worry about it.

Tinaz...would you talk to your parents about it? I sure the hell wouldn't...not then, not now, not EVA! and my folx are pretty laid back.

Depends what you mean by "overtly sexual", that sentence makes it sound like it's more than just normal healthy solo exploration.

You know what, I'm calling bullshit on this post and the Org member.

The wording is a bit too adult for an alleged 13 year old. No 13 year old I ever knew used words like "overtly". No 13 year old uses clinical-type catch phrases about themselves like "awkward teenage puberty stage", or even "horny teen".

I think it's an adult, and it's bait for the sake of attention and getting a rise out of people!

What 13 year old posts something, then says, "Discuss". Why? Why would we discuss a 13 year old's sudden, and frequent, erections???? Thirteen year old children don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, yet there's this sudden enlightened teenager (barely) who sudden wants deep adult conversation over his sudden thrust into adolescence??? If he knows that puberty is normal, why be worried over it to the extent that he'd post on prince.org about it???? It's contradictory.

I've watched this "kid" type shit lately, and none of it reeks of anything but an adult w/ too much time, and a high need for attention while posing as a child online. Although it's hard to prove who someone is, and I don't think there'll ever be sufficient proof, I think the person is a straight up troll.

Even their grammar, punctuation - stuff like that isn't indicative of a 13 year old, but rather an adult, or at least someone 5 years older (which technically is an adult).

When the hairs on the back of one's neck stand up, that's usually a good indicator of something amiss.

this is WAY to uncomfortable for me...I'm out

You know ernest, I really like you. I agree with most of your posts in the Prince: Music and More section, but I have to disagree.

I am 13 and even I know that what you're saying is foolish. Because I am well spoken for someone my age that means that I am not a child? You assume that every child is just stupid and does not know proper grammar.

You know what Ernest, you are a typical, average person. You choose to sterotype certain people, such as children, and assume that everyone that is apart of that group of people fits the stereotype that you assign to them. You choose to overanalyze situations and find controversy in every single thing and then make a huge deal out of it just to make yourself seem intelligent.

Ahem, pay attention to this:

Thirteen year old children don't know their ass from a hole in the ground...

I'm sorry, but that is a stupid generalization that is simply not true. There are different kinds of people. No one person is alike, so why is it that all thirteen year olds are alike?

No 13 year old I ever knew used words like "overtly". No 13 year old uses clinical-type catch phrases about themselves like "awkward teenage puberty stage", or even "horny teen".

So what, I'm a smart kid. I got a way with words. Got a problem with that? Cause I sure as hell don't, I'm proud of it.

You seem smart Ernest. But not as smart as you make yourself out to be.
