BACK TALK

Rapping with the folks about the ``s'' word did not scare Back Talk callers this week.

In fact, most said they would turn to Mom and Dad when asked the question, ``Can you talk to your parents about sex?''

Here's more of what callers had to say:

``I would talk to my parents about sex because my parents know more about it than teenagers do. Teenagers are sometimes immature.''

Kimberly Wynn, 14, rising freshman at Kellam High School

``I always talk to my mom. We have a very close relationship. She understands what I have to say.''

April Saler, 11, rising fifth-grader at Williams Elementary School

``I can't talk to my parents about sex. I talk to my aunts, cousins and my friends.''

Tee Roper, 15, rising freshman at Lake Taylor High School by CNB
