My mom wants to talk to me about tampons, boys, sex and other embarrassing stuff. We have a great health class in school, and the teachers cover everything.
I don’t want to talk about these topics with my mom. How do I get her to stop?
It’s truly great that your mom wants to talk about this stuff because then you know that if you ever want—or need—to go to her about anything, you can. If you don’t want to chat about tampons and boys in everyday conversation, though, tell her that. Let her know you appreciate her openness but that it makes you uncomfortable when she brings this stuff up.
Tell her you’re learning about these things in school and that you’re glad you can go to her if you have any questions or need to fill in any blanks. You might want to throw in that maybe you’ll become more at ease talking about such topics with her once she lets you bring them up.
