Young Women's Sexual Health

It is a sad fact that dating is almost non-existant in today's youth culture. 'Hooking up' (everything from just kissing to oral sex to intercouse with anybody, anytime) is now the norm. Young girls are sending naked pictures of themselves to boys via text messaging or through the computer, just so they can 'please them.' The boys don't even have to work hard at all to get sex, the girls are mostly willing to give it away very freely. This behavior leads us to the sad state of young women's sexual health. The rise in teen pregnancies and STD's has increased amoung the youth in the last 20 years. What can we do to bring morals and decency back to our children? It is a hard fight but one that we must not give up on. If you are a parent, Laura Sessions Stepp has written a book called 'Unhooked' that you might want to read.
