[Neil Hilborn, Ollie Renee Schminkey, Both]
My school was fairly progressive;
They even taught contraception in our sex-ed class.
When I was 14, my dad handed me a box of condoms and said,“You know how to use these right?”
We were taught which preventive methods were the most effective.
I was in Texas, so dads with shotguns.
And where to go if something broke,
What's it take, how to fix
This mess you’ve gotten yourself in. We were taught about herpes and gonorrhea and Syphilis and how to keep all your fluids to yourself.
My friends taught me which clinics wouldn’t tell my parents.
Which ones handed out free condoms,
But I was never taught that there were worse things that could happen than a baby or a disease.
Yeah, we learnt about roofies.
We learnt how to respect when a woman says ‘No’.
We learnt about protecting your drink, carrying a pepper spray,
We learnt what to do when a woman is assaulted,
But not that this could happen to me.
I was a virgin when I was raped for the first time.
When it happened to me, it was 10 A.M. and my parents were home.
My textbook hadn’t described the way I wouldn’t even try to fight, there was no paragraph on how to stop him/her without making a scene.
