Powerless to Say No? Study Looks at Teenage Girls and Sexting A recent study of teenage girls’ responses to young men who asked them for nude digital images highlights the powerlessness some young women today feel when it comes to rebuffing unwanted sexual advances. “Bombarded,” “coerced,” and “confused” are the terms Sara E. Thomas used to describe the most common experiences reported by teenage girls faced with repeated sexting requests from young men in her study, “What Should I Do?: Young Women’s Reported Dilemmas With Nude Photographs.” Thomas, a doctoral student at Northwestern University, said, "Teenage girls know the potential risks and are disinclined to [sext], yet they continue to share the images anyway. They struggle to say no."

Too Much Netflix, Not Enough Chill: Why Young Americans Are Having Less Sex Fifty years after the sexual revolution, sex in America is in decline. Americans are having less sex, the share of Americans who say they never once had sex in the past year is rising, and—perhaps most surprising—this revolution in sexual behavior is being led by the young. Although this sexual counter-revolution began before the #MeToo movement arose in response to the sexual abuse, misconduct and insensitivity of men ranging from Harvey Weinstein to Bill O’Reilly, the cultural outrage over men’s bad behavior is likely to accelerate this trend.

Moving Toward a Deeper Understanding of Adversity’s Effects on Adolescents In this report from the Center for Promise, three different data sets are examined to research and uncover how adversity affects the lives of young people and what practitioners can to do help them overcome barriers to success. Findings include that there are too many youth experiencing adversity, and that there is a large disparity in exposure to adversity in terms of income, maternal education, and race and ethnicity. Findings also indicate that the number and types of adversities that youth experience matter, and that relationships within and outside the family can buffer the effects of multiple adversities.

Why did we forget how to date? New documentary aims to find out It was about 10 or so years ago when Kerry Cronin, a professor at Boston College, noticed something was up with the way her young students were dating – or, rather, not dating. It was the end of the year and she was talking to a group of bright, charismatic students who were full of plans for their future. Cronin asked her students if graduation meant some difficult conversations with their boyfriends or girlfriends – and she got blank stares.

VIDEO: Origin of the Heart Symbol Whether it’s a chocolate in heart shaped box, an emoji with hearts for eyes, iconic design such as I ? NY or even liking an image on Instagram, the heart symbol is about as ubiquitous as it comes.

Working Together Developing & Implementing a Sustainable Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program In October 2016, Kansas State College of Human Ecology received a grant to develop, implement and evaluate the #RELATIONSHIPGOALS program, a sexual risk avoidance education intervention with seventh- and ninth-grade students. The goal is to empower youth to make healthy decisions by teaching them the benefits of self-regulation, healthy relationships and goal setting, while also teaching them how to resist sexual coercion, dating violence and other risky behaviors. They used Relationship Smarts PLUS, Sexual Risk Avoidance Adaptation as the intervention. Preliminary results suggest the program is reaching its goal. Specifically, students say that they love the program and share that they learn are how to identify healthy and unhealthy relationships. They also say the program teaches them skills they need to develop healthy relationships, particularly effective communication skills, which they use to improve their relationships with their families as well. Participant objectives:
Who should attend: Teen pregnancy prevention staff, marriage and healthy relationship grantees, Sexual Risk Avoidance practitioners, Title V staff, marriage and family life students and researchers, Family and Consumer Sciences educators, Extension agents and state specialists, community organizations, violence prevention specialists. When: Wednesday, March14, 2018, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific Duration: 60 minutes Cost: Free!
