      i can but it depends on what exactly you want the 12yo to learn/understand. so for example a convo on puberty or a convo on menstruation or nocturnal emission or intercourse or sexual orientation will be different.

      i think a good place to start for general overview of puberty and body changes and adolescents is brainpop.com (they also do HIV but are more on the science tip than the sociology tip). they do require a registration and a fee, but they also offer a 2 week trial period. there are videos and quizzes for youth to interact with and I used it often when I taught middle school.

      then for a more sociology/pop culture discussion/presentation I'd suggest scenariosusa.com (i think or .org) they have all their videos online and they are written by youth and then the youth are partnered w/world leading directors to make their film. I like the films "from an objective point of view" re: abstinence and "it all falls down" regarding decision making and dating. they have lots of films representing various youth of different identities.

      if you have something specific in mind send me another question and i can tell you what i know of. hope this is helpful!

      some people can't. some can. i think if you are honest w/what you want and don't want it may be easier. i also think if you are honest w/yourself as to what you are emotionally ready for (i.e. loving yourself, enjoying your own company, etc.) it may be easier. so what if you get emotionally attached? it may not last forever, nothing ever does, so why not give yourself that bit of joy and enjoy it for as long as it's around b/c when its gone who knows when it will come back if it ever will? i say be shameless and unembarrassed w/your emotions. own them.

      well it depends on what the hangup was. sex & intimacy are very different things but they do intersect. if you give me specific examples or a list of topics i could suggest something more specific. i think the first thing is realizing that there is resistance or challenge about a particular topic/issue/situation/space and then deciding if there is any action (that can come in various forms) that the person is dedicated to doing to create some kind of change in their life. also, why does htis person think there is a desire to create change. is there a benefit? if so to whom and if so what? there is 1 thing to experience something and its totally different to try to achieve something for another person's happiness. know what i mean?

      thanks! id say try a harm reduction approach: meeting them where they are at and asking open ended questions such as "how did you come to X decision about X topic." and REALLY listen to the answer. sometimes ppl dont know why they think the way they do. don't take time to consider how they were socialized. sometimes it's about giving ourselves permission to unlearn what we were taught. xo

      so many to choose from: how about from the arsonists "whatchu' be about" "i be about puerto rican women who make progress with the mind of a college professor and the body of a goddess" for self explanatory reasons....
