This chapter wasn’t too shocking for me. I don’t think that TV shows or movies have to do with teenagers or unmarried women getting pregnant. I think the TV shows Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant are focused on educating girls about why birth control is so important if they want to become sexually active.…
Read more Changing Families, Chapter 7/ Sexualization of Girls
Website I guess this website is good at outlining exactly what the sexualization of girls is. This is nothing new to me, so I am just going to point out my favorite parts. “Both male and female peers have been found to contribute to the sexualization of girls — girls by policing each other to…
This chapter was an eye opener to the reality that still today sex is a very sensitive topic that parents often avoid with their teens. even with shows like Teen Mom and talk shows that test supposedly “Baby Daddy’s” of teens who have unprotected sex. often times I’m surprised that mothers and fathers don’t take…
Chapter 6 Pop Culture Promiscuity This chapter had various shocking statistics while reading through. The fact that teens are not as bad as adults or that the amount of teens who have had sex has dramatically decreased from 20 years ago. I also thought it was interesting that the author noted the way people think…
Fight The New Drug’s website was very interesting to me. Additionally, i had no idea this site existed and pornography was such a problem.

This has probably been my favorite chapter so far because it was on a topic I find…
I found it interesting in chapter 6 when it states “dont let TV be your teenager’s main source of sex education”. I feel that this is interesting because many parents out there do not sit down with their children and talk to them about sex; they rely on the TV shows and the movies the…
Sternheimer Chapter 6: This was an interesting topic on teen sex! It is awful to think that some teens are more responsible than adults on the topic of safe sex. Many parents try to avoid the “sex talk” with their teens without realizing the risk they create for their children. The majority of the time…
As the times change so will the people in those times. With that said, I think the media plays a huge roll in teens having sex at an earlier age than in previous decades. Seeing the teen pregnant mom show on MTV is one of the shows brought up in this chapter and having that…
Porn is addictive So if porn is bad for you because of what it does to the brain than sex is bad too. Dont they do the same thing to the brain? “These porn users are being taught that those behaviors are more normal and common than they actually are.” Viewers need to learn what…
