( orted that their parents did not approv...)Medias Plays Vital Role In Sexual Behavior Of Teenagers,Health

orted that their parents did not approve of them having sex at this age were less likely to have engaged in precoital sexual behavior. Both black and white youth who reported their parents did not want them to have sex were less likely to have engaged in sexual intercourse by the time they were 16 years old than those who perceived less parent disapproval of teen sex.

In an editorial accompanying the Pediatrics article, pediatrician Dr. Victor Strasburger said that pediatricians, teachers, parents and the entertainment industry must think about sexual activity differently from how they confront other risky behaviors to which teens may be attracted.

"Remember that sex is not like drugs," Strasburger wrote. "We want our children to have happy, healthy sex lives – when they are older, not when they are 13."

Brown said the media, schools, parents and pediatricians need to provide more accurate and timely sexual information to teens. "Otherwise, the media will continue to serve as a kind of sexual super peer that doesn’t have the best interests of young people in mind," she said.
