A misconception exists that girls benefit more from sexual education because there’s more at stake for them. However, North Star Youth Partnership understands that both girls and boys play an equal role when it comes to making choices and participating in risky behaviors that lead to teen pregnancy.
With so much negativity in this world, we are left wondering, is there anything positive happening? The answer is a resounding yes! Our teens are making a positive impact on our communities. I have been working with teens for over 20 years, and they impress and inspire me. Our teens today are thinking more about their future goals and are less likely to engage in risky behaviors in order to accomplish these goals.
