TEEN ZONE provides education and reproductive health services for teens. We are part of a community-wide effort to reduce teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Parents, schools, health care providers, churches, youth programs, and teens all have a stake in reducing teen pregnancy and STD rates. A good first step is to open up communication about relationships, boundaries, and expectations.
communication IS THE KEY
Sex is a difficult thing to talk about with your teen, but they need to hear from you. Teens that can talk openly with their parents and other trusted adults are less likely to make bad choices, engage in risky behaviors, and get in to trouble.
Teenagers hear about sex from TV, movies, internet, and friends every day. Unfortunately a lot of what they hear is negative, innacurate, and incomplete. Parents need to make sure teens have the facts
