I asked my students yesterday in Adolescent Psych to ask me some questions they would like addressed in class. I didn't want to do the usual song and dance but, instead, address particular concerns they have. This class is not required for Psych majors but it is required for other majors on campus and most of the students plan to work closely with adolescents in their future career. I plan to research these questions before addressing them in class but if you can give me a head start on any of them, I would be happy to hear from you.
1) Are there warning signs of are sexually activity in teens (the stereotype is that you find birth control in their possession but that must be pretty unlikely given the low rate of teen birth control use)? 2) Is there any effect of religious belief or practice on sexual behavior? 3) What are the main risk factors for teen sexual activity? What are some of the contributing factors? Self-esteem? Desire for Social Acceptance? Peer Pressure? 4) What are the emotional and psychological consequences of teenage sex? 5) What are the most effective methods of sex education? Thank you for any help you can provide.
