I learned in 6th or 7th grade health class. My Mom signed the permission slip and asked me if I had any additional questions later...I said NO! 
How did you learn about the birds and the bees?

My parents never told me about anything! I learned at school, and through friends. I was so sheltered until I went to college. My teammates in college made me watch a porn (true story lol) because my virgin eyes have never seen such a thing. It was a learning experience for sure lmao
-
My parents didn't tell me anything either! I had to learn from TV, school friends and a medical dictionary. Sad.
-
I honestly don't remember!

Sex Ed class in fifth grade, lol. Then got more info in seventh grade science class. That's also where I we watch a video of a baby being born.

We had sex ed in 5th, 7th, and 9th grade. 5th grade was when they separated the boys and girls - the girls got those completely outdated booklets that taught about pads with belts and learned about our periods. I don't remember 7th grade. In 9th grade, we had a whole quarter. We learned male and female anatomy, and I will NEVER forget that our teacher passed out blow pops while we labeled a picture of male anatomy. AWKWARD!
Apparently, my mom also sat my sister and I down to talk to us about sex, but we both must have blocked it out, because neither of us remember it. She says she showed us how to put a condom on a broomstick and everything. NO recollection of it, at all!

I grew up on a farm, so we had pretty open conversations about it from the start. That didn't save me from that 5th grade health class though.

I was very young (around 4, I think). Asked how babies were made and was told. My mom was very open about it.
-
I asked my mom how babies were made when I was three, and she gave me an age-appropriate book and explained it to me. As I got older she gave me another book aimed for pre-teens/teens that explained things in more detail and also talked about safe sex.
I also had sex ed at school for a few weeks once a year. It was just "health" class up until fifth grade, and we learned about being clean and healthy (germs, communicable diseases, etc.). Starting in fifth grade it became sex ed and the boys and girls were separated. It was back to co-ed starting in tenth grade. I'm actually pretty impressed with the sex ed in my district, considering I grew up in conservative Arizona.

My parents! They taught me the basics when I was 4 or 5 (me: "but... NO boys have girl parts? And NO girls have boy parts? WHAT?!") In 5th grade I got a book explaining more details
-
I was 8. My mom was pregnant and explained the birds and bees to my sister and I since we wanted to know how the baby got in her belly.

My mom told me in 5th grade.

@lemondrop: That's how my sister (kind of) knows. She has a puppy and chickens and she watches the chickens mate. She always says "look! They're getting married!" lol I don't think she's quite realized that the rooster "marries" all the hens! haha..
@marriedandlovingit: oh no! that's awful.
I was in 3rd or 4th grade when one of my friends told me about it while we were playing barbies. She said, "look, they are having sex." It was so weird. My mom was SOOOO mad when she found out.
She revisited it when I was 11 and asked if I knew what sex was and made me explain it. That was SO awkward especially since she asked in front of my dad too.
But after that she never talked about it or anything else so I found out the more detailed stuff from friends and a boyfriend lol
