Girls Boarding Schools a Viable Option
Girls boarding schools must be experiencing quite a bit of business these days if a close friend of a teen age daughter serves as a barometer.
“I don’t care what she calls me, she will not have girl friends who think oral sex is just a form of affection. I will not have it. I caved for her nose piercing, I caved in and let her have a tattoo but I am not going to cave on this. She going to an all girls boarding school and learn something more valuable than how to shake her booty.”
Jan was incensed to find graphic materials in her daughter’s room depicting oral sex. She was even more enraged upon discovering that her daughter’s best friend’s mother had supplied the material in the hopes of “being open.”
If today’s sexual climate causes you grave concern, your apprehensions are not misplaced. Study after study records the debilitating effects on teens who pursue sexual activity that they haven’t the least maturity to cope with. And this recent study confirms that peer influence is a strong factor in a young teens sexual activities
“Young people select friends whose attitudes about sex are consistent with their own attitudes. The effect of friends’ attitudes on sexual behavior was stronger for females than for males.
High-risk sexual behavior in adolescents appears to be influenced by the sexual attitudes of peers, and young people select friends whose attitudes about sex are consistent with their own attitudes.”
