To teens/ preteens: Do your parents talk to you about serious stuff?

like: sex (not the birds and the bees – stuff like “how do you know when you’re ready”, etc.), alcohol, drugs, date rape, cheating, bullying, teen suicide, violence and other subjects. How are they doing about helping you understand those issues? Do they initiate the conversations, wait for you to ask questions – or assume you’ve got it covered.
What would you like to be able to talk to them about but can’t? Why?
