When I was young, right up to the age of 11, when my period started and it was time my sister told me about the birds and the bees (only because my mom didn't want the job). I always thought that when a man and a woman said they slept together, that's all they did. Just sleeping with a man can get you pregnant. I didn't know about that intercourse stuff.
