Teenagers receive mixed signals on sexual norms because their parents, friends and partners have conflicting views (Kirby, 2001). Sex education is important in empowering teenagers to make informed decisions and feel secure in all aspects of their development.</p><p>This study is a secondary data analysis using existing data from the 2001-2002 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Survey. The goal is to find associations by examining results from (1) adolescent’s self reported life satisfaction, (2) reported ease of communication with their mothers and fathers respectively, (3) and whether or not the student had received in school education on proper condom use. In summary, in accordance with the developmental needs of teenagers, it is necessary to examine life satisfaction, perceived ease of discussing difficult topics with parents, and involvement in sex education programming.</p> 2011-05-16 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1302828381 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1302828381 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
