The dating to-do list

Hug every day, dress in a way that pleases you and fart whenever and wherever 鈥� advice for a teenage daughter thinking about dating.

Wen is raised believing sex is taboo but knows she must change for her daughter鈥檚 sake.

Her grandmother was ashamed to talk about it. Her mum and dad had to visit the biology section of the library to find out how to do it. Wen wants to create a safe space at home to talk more openly with her daughter.

Letter writer: Wen
