Summary

Teenagers are having sex at younger and younger ages, putting them at risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies. How to safeguard them? Teen Sex explores the issues of sex education, parental involvement, gay and lesbian clubs, television's influence, dangers of the Internet, and most importantly, how teenagers themselves feel about sex.
