Teens don't always ignore. Some have different ways of registering it. My mom had "the talk" with me when I was 13 and I just shrugged it off and "ignored" her when she talked about it. It takes anywhere from a few days to a few months for things to "register" in my head. But it was a successful thing, I never dated until around 17 I think. It's hard to remember even though it wasn't more 5 years ago... Haha. I've also only had 3 boyfriends in my life time. I had a talk with Mama when I first got her and she went and put her tail in my face and did everything I told her not to. And of course, now her belly is growing and shes a little brat and really "hissy" at me if I don't feed her just what she wants or when she has a craving for pinkies and ice cream.
