This could be a family member, family friend, coach or someone else they know. Have them ask these questions:  • When you were growing up, did you think that other guys were growing faster or slower than you? Did this bother you? • How did you get along with your parents when you were growing up? • How did your friendships change? • What was the hardest part of growing up for you?  • What was the best part about growing up? • If you could give any advice to guys going through puberty now, what would it be?

Questions can include: • What are some consequences of having sex? • What are some good things about waiting to have sex until you’re older and in a committed relationship, such as marriage? • How many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can you name? • What are some ways to show affection for someone without having sex? Have your students distribute and collect the surveys in school. (Make sure completed surveys are anonymous.) Then have the class tabulate the results and create a report describing their findings.
