Lessons for the Parents

We have learned from the findings of the study that a growing number of teens start having sex at an early age. Men and male teens are more likely to do so. But it should be noted they have had sex with girls so the same number of teen girls also have sex at a young age. For parents, these findings should be serious and they can’t ignore the facts.

One other lesson we learned here is that black men or teens are more likely to have sex before 13 as compared to the white. The study didn’t quote any solid reason for this. However, they found that teens whose mothers are not highly educated tend to have sex. This show, mothers who don’t get an education see results in the behaviour of their kids.

Lastly, parents should note that parental control over the kids is the most important thing in shaping the behaviour of teens. Parents who know about such things have better control over their children as compared to the parents who don’t educate themselves and read about teen issues.

Parents Shouldn’t Ignore the Findings

The findings in the study can never be ignored. Especially, the parents should take these really serious. It is about the life of their teens and young kids. There is also a dire need to understand why teens have sex at a young age and what factors contribute the most. In our analyses, we have learned that the use of smartphones, the internet, social media, and dating sites are the major reasons.

Parents need to take the challenge seriously.

The use of smartphones and the internet is growing among teens. This screen addiction has grown over the years and teens have become less active in their studies.

Smartphone, the internet, social media, and dating sites are major reasons.

Social media and dating sites are also hubs of many other issues. More than 52% of American teens reported they were bullied at the social media site, Facebook. This is just one effect. Predators, sexting and body shaming are the other things in the form of results that parents need to be serious about. All these issues can be fixed if the parents understand the major cause and take steps to deal with it. That is the use of smartphone and the internet.
