Contraceptives and Teenage Sexuality- some easy reading
Teenage sex is always a hot topic and more so now with the decision to dispense contraceptives to middle school students in the USA. If you are a teenager you may not feel comfortable talking to your parents about how you feel about sex. (At least, girls, carry a packet of condoms in your purse) If you are a parent you may wish to broach the subject but may not know how to go about it. Take heart, there’s a few modern books I found on Amazon that will come to the rescue- or at least ‘break the ice’ and provide accurate information that will do the job with or without the ‘awkward moments’.
With Christmas coming up, perhaps you could start with a gaily wrapped stocking filler?
The ones listed below are voted favourites with teenagers and parents alike. All the books cost less than $20 and I recommend that you browse through all the reviews first because you’ll probably want to buy more than just one. By the way, I’ve added a ‘rogue’ one at the bottom just in case!
Happy reading, happy chatting and happy adolescence!
