Adolescence

So we're currently learning about the development occurring during adolescence years.

Apparently the U.S. has the highest rates of adolescence pregnancy in the world. I question how many are planned and how many are not. Also, how does that affect the demographics of the United States?

Our speaker is apparently from a health outcome center in New Jersey and has interesting things they're during for sexual education for teens. She told us some very interesting stories. I actually like the real stories that she told, it really helps with modeling what we can do if we ran into the same situations. For example, there was a girl who was bulimic and could not tell her parents, so they role played the different ways she could tell her parents and she apparently did that.
