The teenagers who can discuss openly about sexuality issues with their parents, they are more attuned to the risks and consequences of sexually transmitted diseases.
The teens were more parents than selecting the media or friends as a role model to have a healthy sexual behavior. This is especially true in adolescents who come from families who openly discuss issues of sexuality.
Similarly, according to a survey conducted in Canada to 1100 teenage mothers who have children and 1,200 adolescents aged 14-17 years. 45 percent of teens make known to their parents as role models and 32 percent would prefer to imitate the behavior of his friend. Teens who make celebrities as role models only 15 percent.
"Good communication within the family, including the issue of sexual health is very influential on responsible sexual behavior," said Dr.Jean-Yves Frappier, researchers from the University of Montreal, who conducted this survey.
In contrast to the answers of adolescents, it turns out nearly 78 percent of the mothers felt their children make friends as role models in matters of sex. The mothers also answered the fathers are less willing to be involved in educating children on sexual health issues.
"Parents underestimate their role much in the lives of their children," said Frappier. In addition to opening the dialog that opens, parents are also advised to give an example of a healthy sexual behavior and responsibility.
