I was in 5th grade when my dad told me about the Nuremberg trials and the subsequent Milgram experiments.

Edit Wtf you sick perverts, I was talking about when your parents talk to you about authority bias and how you need to be suspicious of power structures that tell you to do things that you would normally consider horrible acts.

Jesus you can’t talk about Nazis without someone dragging out Sex Ed these days smh

      For me it was the body book at the book fair. I learned what the outside and the inside of a boob looked like that day.

    Don’t remember the specific age, but it was something in the vein:

    “We gotta talk. You know about the sex stuff?”

    “Yeah, no problem. Got the internet. Already a master or better.”

    “Eyyyyy!”

    “Eyyyyy!”

    And that was it. But seriously, the internet taught me more than biology class, without all the hoops and whistles.

    Why is OP shaming sex education?

    The lack of proper sex education and making kids feel embarrassed about themselves is one of the main reasons why we have so many issues about sexuality and awareness. Not to mention unwanted pregnancies and STI’s.

    Next he’s going to say that Albert Speer deserved more leniency for testifying because his testimony made it easier to convict the others.

    I was 12 when my dad gave me the talk (the talk about how police will kill you if you aren’t exceptionally polite to them). How having skin our color is very dangerous because police are afraid of us. So no quick movements.

      My father taught me how to drive on a stick shift car. Several years later when I was able to afford it I bought a used Pontiac GTO stick shift. Best car I ever had. I haven’t driven a manual in decades, but I know if I had to today it would come right back to me
