Up until the sixth grade, I thought that it wasn't possible for a girl to give birth when she's under the age of 21 (somehow, I was convinced that 21 was the age when you became an adult). I was horrified when I learned the truth in sex ed!!!
A childhood belief about getting pregnant
others believed things like this
- That you could give birth to what ever you chose (i.e a girl, a boy, twins, triplets)— Krista Durling
- When I was in sixth grade I thought that "oral" sex meant talking about sex.— Duh
- I used to believe that when being born, your mom would give birth to an egg, and later you would hatch— Becca
- I used to think that to give birth, a woman had a slit cut into her inner thigh, and the baby would come out.Anon
- I was horrified when my first period arrived. It wasn't blue, like in the commercials for sanitary towels.— Jane
- I used to believe that birth control was for deciding to have either a boy or girl babies. Anon
