basic biology and an understanding of what it is for should tell you this.

it's likely that he's a troll, but when I was 12 believe me I didn't know how many holes or anything there was down there.

yeah, a lot of younger teenagers have no idea how to navigate to their vagina, that urine and menstrual fluid does not come from the same hole, etc. sex ed is not that great and it isn't actually something that's covered quite extensively in science curriculums. if you weren't taught, you won't know!

the vagina opening is at the back of the labia and vulva. wash your hands and open up the inner labia, sort of feel around and try to insert a finger at first (sort of pointing towards your back). if you've managed to insert a finger somewhere, its probably your vagina as the urethra/where urine comes from is too small for your finger. also try using a mirror, relax and take your time. If youre still too tense, try again another day :smile:

Pray tell as to where the complexity lies?

The real shame is the parents who expect the school to teach their own child how their body works.
I'd recommend exploring what's down there with a mirror, and also look at a diagram so you understand what you're seeing.
