In the Article that is attached, the main purpose is to express that need to inform our female youth to respect and hold their bodies closer to their hearts, and to embraces who they are. Much information is given in the article, with a few ideas that I find particularly appealing. The first is mentioned at the beginning and consists of Psycho-educational groups. There is power in numbers and I too, believe that by being involved in a group draws out the uniqueness in all that partake and encourage togetherness. Secondly, I found the idea of open-mindedness to be effective. There is evidence stating that the effectiveness of the sorts of information we are providing our young female is lacking in several areas. This article states that our teen aged pregnancy rate is twice as high as Canada, and eight times as high as Japan and Netherlands. Another point that was brought up in this article, is that of the economical status of different ethnic groups. In the US higher rates of pregnacy and sexually transmitted infections is greater in lower economically stable conditions. Lastly, I agree that much more research is needed to find a good fit for all of the young girls that are in this country, and for the future generations to come. Knowledge is power.
