Teens & Sex!

Abstract:
This brochure outlines Advocates for Youth’s belief that young people everywhere deserve accurate information about reproductive and sexual health; access to confidential, safe reproductive health services; a cultural climate that recognizes sexuality as normal and promotes responsibility and respect; and society’s support in building a healthy, productive future. It lists statistics relating to HIV/AIDS/STDs, sexual minority youth, and teen pregnancy, both in the U.S. and internationally. It also describes Advocates for Youth’s efforts to provide information to educators, policy makers, and media professionals to help teens make safe and responsible decisions about sex. Finally, it offers tips for parents on talking with children and adolescents about sex. Although the focus of the brochure is not entirely clear, the individual sections provide some useful information.
