Parental Advisory Training

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬! 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬…? 🤔⁣

When it comes to teens and sex, not everybody is “doing it”! ⁣

Among teen females aged 15-19, 42% had ever had sex, and among teen males, the percent was 44%.⁣
These percentages have even gradually declined since 1988. ⁣

One of the main factors of teens delaying early sexual activity is the involvement and engagement of the parent. Even if it’s not on their radar, we still encourage you to have “the talk” and educate them on the subject! ⁣

If you’re having trouble navigating these tough conversations, join us this Wednesday from 6:30pm-7:30pm EST for our 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠! Click the link in our bio to learn more! 👉
