I think I've always been mad at my parents and for a lot of different reasons too, maybe I'm just an 18 year old who thinks I can do better , I dunno but this has always bothered me. My parents are very very religious. They never really taught us about sex and I don't even think I really even knew what sex was until I was about 12 which isn't too bad but I didn't find out from my parents. All they ever told me was don't let anyone touch you ever and they showed all the warning signs which is good but that was it. They also have told me since I was about 15 that masturbation is completely wrong and you should never do it, that sex is for your husband... some people may believe this but I don't at this point. I started masturbating around 13 and I remember getting the same pleasure as a kid getting down from the top bunk and I did it everyday. I never knew what it was, so how could it be bad when it naturally happens on its own innocently? The fact that my parents made me feel so guilty about something I shouldn't have been guilty of just makes me so upset and I remember being so scared of mostly men because I was scared they were going to hurt me. I wouldn't go anywhere without my parents and anytime I did I was so scared I wanted to go home the whole time. Good for parents to have that talk about rape and molestation but the way my parents put into our heads just made it seem like all men just wanted to be mean to little girls and I don't think they should have portrayed it that way.
