How to Successfully Talk to a Teenage Girl About
Sex
Discussing sex and sexual issues with teenagers can be a daunting
task, especially for parents. The way media venues depict sex and

that was much more muted when I was a young woman. When my daughter
was getting ready to enter middle school I felt we needed to have a
