No, I can't control those conversations. I also don't see it as reasonable to limit my child's knowledge on a subject merely because someone else might make an opposing decision and take offense. Kids are going to be frank when talking about any topic amongst themselves. I would rather my child be overheard telling a peer about how babies are made and how STDs are passed, than have her believe that douching with Coca-Cola after sex will prevent pregnancy. I also strongly disagree that speaking truth in such discussions can ever be "damaging". Can you provide an example?
