Teen Dating in the 21st Century: The Impact of Alcohol, Drugs, and Sex
This workshop is designed to provide parents, students, and professionals with the skills and tools to work with teenagers who are involved in dating. Teenage dating has evolved during the 21st century to a point that teens as young as twelve and thirteen are now dating and engaging in sexual activities, as well as the use of drugs and alcohol. It is conceivable that today’s youth are engaging in these adult-like activities without the maturity or knowledge of how to protect themselves from harm. It is paramount that parents and professionals learn what is needed to assist teens in making good decisions and being safe in today’s society. Those who understand and provide appropriate guidance can make a difference in teenagers being safe or being harmed by others, or by situations in which they are vulnerable.
