America's Teen Sex Education: Can Parents Really Make a Difference?

Abstract

America’s children’s sexual health and sexual education has been declining in recent years. With the lack of leadership from public school’s sex education, parents need to step up and have more discussions about sex with their children. When parents lead discussions that are more adaptable according to the child’s needs, consistently frequent during adolescence, and equally discussed by each parent to each child, America's adolescents' sexual health can improve exponentially.
