It is highly important to educate adolescent age adults early in their development about human sexuality and the effects of it. Poor education results in unfortunate situations; which is why a valuable education is needed in dealing with adolescent aged people. However, I believe adolescent age adults don't necessarily process the helpful information in ways expected by the educators of sexual human development. Sometimes educating teens and getting them to learn important information that may…
Although, this is a very opinionated topic, do you think adolescents have the right to make autonomous medical choices? I agree to the fact that adolescents should and they shouldn’t have the right to make their own medical decisions because a child may make the wrong decisions that would cause their parents to be devastated or that would make their sickness very severe.

If you are under 18 you are considered a child and therefore your parent, guardian or whomever is in charge of makes mostly all of your decisions for you or at least the have the authority to. 18 is usually a magic age number to…

Topic avoidance and secrets in parents and adolescent relationships From child to parent communication some of the avoided topics are: sex, negative things that happened to them, and failures. Some avoided topics from parent to child are: health, finances, and conflicts with spouse. These topics are avoided because children and parents both want to protect the relationship they have with each other, also because they want to have some sort of privacy in their own situations. Sex is an avoided…
The word literacy is defined as a person’s ability to read and write a sentence.
