Guess What -- Your Kids Want To Hear From You About Sex, So Start Talking!
%Conversations about “the birds and the bees” are awkward nightmares many parents don"t want to have with their kids, but would you be more willing if you knew it"d help them make better and safer decisions about sex?

“It"s a natural rite of passage for teens to act like adults don"t matter. It"s just part of the developmental process in many, many cases, so I think it"s fair for adults to believe what their teens are telling them, and the reality is that teens are clearly saying, especially younger teens and even 16- to 19-year-olds, their parents absolutely matter,” said Ginny Ehrlich, chief executive officer of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
