When my sister was about sixteen my college educated mother found she was using tampons and became hysterical.She called the Dr. and shrieked about how my sister wasn't a virgin anymore and "no decent man would marry her". The Dr. must have thought mom was a nutcase but he finally calmed her down by giving his word as a doctor.My sister almost got grounded for a month!
