Health Resource for Teens
January 30th, 2010 by jgrimes
Recently, I came across an online article and resource for teens. I was quite surprised at the nature of the article, and it took me a couple minutes to soak in what I was reading. In all fairness to this website, my motherly instinct was to be offended at the advice the article is giving teenagers. However, I have to commend them on their originality. This website really made me take a second look at how I communicate with my child, and maybe how I should try to communicate with him in the future. My son Zach is fourteen, and experiencing the same emotional hormones, that drive all teenage boys at his age. With new levels of testosterone pulsing through his veins, Zach is quite openly curious, to discover more about the female anatomy. Moreover, it does not stop there. I bet you he silently talks to himself in the mirror, practicing his lines to say to a girl. Like any normal kid who happens to be a little girl crazy does.
The online website I am writing about is; Teen Advisor.
Excerpt from the website;
This is what you might tell your teenager:1. Sex is an acquired skill. People expect miracles when they first have sex, not realizing that people need time and experience and patience to grow in their capacity to give and receive pleasure.
2. Sex is best enjoyed by those who are grown up, emotionally as well as physically.
The article list a total of five answers parents should tell their teenagers. I am curious, is this advice you would give to your child? Probably not, but, what if this advice is the key to keeping kids safe, would you give them this advice then? Sure, you would. So why aren’t we doing it?
Parents must also “Assume the Responsibility too, When Their Teen is Having Sexual Relations!” With teenage pregnancy and the transmission of STD’s at an all time high, it is highly doubtful that teenagers have an idea of the responsibilities, which come from having sexual relationships. More importantly is the issue of why teenagers are not effected by negative statical data. Teenagers today have more information and informational access to surviving their teen years, than has ever been available to generations past. With a simple click, sexual advice is ready available at their disposal. Yet nobody is using them. Okay, teenagers answer this one reasonable question, “Why?” If you feel you are responsible enough to have sex, then why do you ignore the warnings? Furthermore, if you are ready to have sex you surely will not mind to take a little test. Ask yourself if you really know what is going on in the picture. This is stuff that all responsible teenagers having sex should know.
“What Teenagers say Teenagers Really Need to Know About Sex”
How Ready Are You?
If you don’t know what the condition is in the featured pictures, then you educate yourself. You clearly do not have the sufficient information needed, concerning the consequences of having sex.
