It's 5 PM, do you know where
your teen is? |
|
What happens after your teen
gets out of school? Most teen high-risk activity occurs after school hours when teens are
unsupervised. Keep your teen active in after-school activities such
as music, sports or work. Consider enrolling them in an activity such as the TKO
Karate classes sponsored by Teen Plus! |

TEEN SEX: NEW POLL SHOWS
MAJORITY OF TEENS REGRET HAVING SEX
"It ... makes clear that parents can -- and
must --
play an active and continuing role in helping their children
understand
that sex can wait." (6/30/00)
"The
survey revealed that factors preventing against teen sex included making a
virginity pledge; viewing sex as "costly;" having college plans and
parental disapproval"
AJPH (Wetzstein, Washington Times, 12/1/00)

For and against: Doctors should advise
adolescents to abstain from sex
Trevor Stammers and Roger Ingham; BMJ 2000
From
the CDC: Most teens are not
provided STD
or pregnancy prevention counseling during check-ups

The
Goal of the Teen Plus Center is to see
all adolescents reach adulthood free of teen pregnancy
and sexually transmitted diseases.
