Breaking The Cycle ... Helping Teens
Make Smart Choices, So They Don't Become
Teen Parents

We have all heard the expression "kids don't come with instructions" and it's so true -- they don't.

And when teens become parents they are not emotionally mature enough to handle parenthood.

How is a parent to know if their teens are sexually active? If they are ... are they taking precautions?

Now, parents can learn The Real Truth about Teens and Sex.

Sabrina Weil, former Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine partnered with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy to produce a national survey of 1059 teens age 12-17, which was fielded by a leading international market research agency.

The results are revealed for the first time in The Real Truth about Teens and Sex. The book also includes excerpts from some of the hundreds of interviews conducted with teens on this topic.

The book features exclusive survey results and candid interviews with young people, advice from experts, and Weill’s own savvy insights. According to Weill, "this engaging, eye-opening and practical book will help bridge the gap between teens and the adults who care about them, guiding young people to smart, responsible decisions.”

This book is a great tool for parents to learn about their teens sexual activity and how to keep them from becoming teen parents.
