This activity based program will focus on how sexuality is communicated and experienced through the eyes of today’s youth. Sexting, Facebook, internet, TV, movies and sexual images surrounding adolescent youth will be discussed. Activities utilized are designed to assist teachers affecting student’s attitudes so students can develop skills toward a positive sense of sexuality. This is appropriate for grade 6-12 health educators and higher education. Participants will leave with materials which are ready to implement.
