TEENS AND SEX: AT THE DAWN OF A DECADE -- "It's harder to be surprised, said doctors and adolescent-health advocates, as they watch youngsters come of age in a culture saturated by sex and in the care of parents who, it turns out, are as tongue-tied about sex as THEIR parents were." (STAR TRIBUNE) This article examines current teen sexual practices. TEENS AND SEX: 'IT'S ALL AROUND US' -- "When it comes to teens and their bodies, the pressure's on--hormonal, romantic, peer and media pressure. The message blares continually in TV ads, in movie sex scenes and teen magazines, in back seats and bedrooms: Just do it." (STAR TRIBUNE) This article describes how teens today are bombarded with various pressures, from both peers and the media, to have sex. TEENS AND SEX: BRIEF ENCOUNTERS, LONG-TERM HEARTACHE -- "Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common and potentially dangerous pitfalls that teens encounter. More than 3 million American teens acquire an STD each year, according to the Sexuality and Information Council of the United States."
