And let's be honest - if kids really understand how nasty STDs can be, that'll probably scare them away from doing some things for awhile longer (at least it did for me when I was young - haaha)

For STDs I let them know about the puss and scabs. It doesn't always help to just say you can get them--What will that disease look like??
And for those with boys--my big fear is an accusation of date rape. Tell them if there is any type of hesitation at all--Stay away. A false accusation can still ruin a life.
And good for all of you for being open about it!
