From Jeffco Communities That Care:
Talking to your teen about sex can be difficult, awkward and intimidating, but it’s important. The sex talk is really a series of talks covering the basics, protection from sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, consent and substance use, LGBTQ+ exploration and issues and others.
If you think “the talk” is awkward, imagine how your teen feels. Embrace it. Leave space for questions, laughter and difficult conversations.
The best way to show your teen you care? Be there. Have a talk with your teen.
