Was each book about the same girl/group of girls?Do you remember anything about the covers?
Maybe the Mates, Dates series by Cathy Hopkins.
Or maybe even the Dating Game series by Natalie Standiford.
For the click the first book of each series:Mates, Dates and Inflatable Bras
and
The Dating Game
My thought instantly went to the Sisterhood of the traveling pants, but I have yet to read them, so I can be way wrong.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Oh well, just saw that this is now 5 books, when I bought The Complete Collection ist was just 4, LOL. And that shows how long I wanted to read them - also bought the films, with Amber Tamblyn being one of my favorite actresses.
Where was the series set. I'm not sure about the sex classes but the coming age stuff, and the divorce applies to Jaclyn Moriarty. I've not read the first, but the second book The Year of Secret Assignments was rather good. This series is set in Australia.
No, none of these suggestions are the right one. I don't remember anything about the covers, and yes, the entire series was about the same three girls.
It sounds like it might be the Alice books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor -- the main character is Alice, and her two best friends are Pamela and Elizabeth; Pamela is more sexually experienced. There are definitely storylines about getting a job and sex ed. No divorce, but Alice's mom died, so it's just Alice, her dad, and her older brother Lester.The first one is The Agony of Alice. They were published starting in the mid 80s, and the last one came out in 2013.
Yes, the Alice series, that's it! Thank you so much! :)

I think the main character's parents ended up getting divorced at some point. It also explored her getting a job, going to sex ed classes (? or something of that sort), and maybe dealing with some sort of sibling issues?
A lot of the details are foggy; it's been at least 13 years since I read these books, but I remember checking them out of the library quite often. I've been looking through lists and on Amazon for a few hours now, and whatever this series was, it must have not been extremely popular because it isn't showing up anywhere.
