Mary Connelly, executive producer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and her wife, Julie Silver, a beloved singer-songwriter of contemporary Jewish music, are raising two down-to-earth daughters amid all the glam and glitz of LA. We spoke with the duo to learn about the challenges they encounter as a same-sex couple raising children and how their lives are changing as their eldest approaches her teenage years.
In 2004, SRT began expanding operations into the United Kingdom, with mixed results. While some teenagers in the UK embraced the message of abstinence, some critics rejected and ridiculed SRT, saying it was anti-sex or unrealistic, and that it seemed unlikely that abstinence programs would attract widespread support in the UK because of the UK's differing attitude toward sexuality and sex education. The group's Assistant National Director for the UK, Denise Pfeiffer, said there was a real need for such a movement in the UK to curb what she sees as the ever-increasing rates of sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancies, both of which she claims are the highest in Western Europe.[8][9]
True Love Waits (TLW) is an international Christian group that promotes sexual abstinence outside of marriage for teenagers and college students. TLW was created in April, 1993 by the Southern Baptists, and is sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources.[15] It is based on conservative Christian views of human sexuality.
Under the Bush administration, organizations that promote abstinence and encourage teens to sign virginity pledges or wear purity rings have received federal grants. The Silver Ring Thing, a subsidiary of a Pennsylvania evangelical church, has received more than $1 million from the government to promote abstinence and to sell its rings in the United States and abroad.[23]
The Jonas Brothers made an abstinence pledge through True Love Waits as teens.[28] The band and pledge are satirized in the 2009 South Park episode \"The Ring\".[29] In 2013, Morgan Lee, a journalist of The Christian Post, conducted an interview with Joe Jonas and wrote:[28]
In an exceptionally raw and frank interview, Jonas also mentioned that although he had made a good-faith, preteen, commitment with Christian abstinence organization True Love Waits to keep his virginity until marriage and donned a \"purity ring\" as an 11-year-old, he was overwhelmed when this became the focus of media attention when the band started to blow up.[28]
Even if pledging purity draws snickers, it's still gaining acceptance among some teens, especially those who attend Christian schools and churches. They say they're standing up to a barrage of sex-related messages.
The organization, based in suburban Pittsburgh, puts on shows at churches nationwide that include \"Saturday Night Live\" style skits, music videos and a message of abstinence. Young people are given a silver ring and decide whether they want to pledge to abstain from sex.
Mothers and fathers slid the rings onto the fingers of 13 teens during a ceremony at Mayfair Plymouth Congregational Christian Church after a weekend retreat in January where they talked about sexual purity.
\"It's part of the whole Christian movement,\" Rady said. \"It's more vocal than it used to be. They don't feel like they have to hide it. It wouldn't have worked when I was a teenager, I can tell you that.\"
The 16-year-old Ye trailed American teenager Elizabeth Beisel more than halfway through the grueling race but pulled away in the freestyle leg to win gold in 4 minutes, 28.43 seconds. She beat the mark of 4:29.45 set by Stephanie Rice at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
It encourages teens to take part in a two-hour programme extolling what it says are the benefits of avoiding sex until marriage, asks them to sign an abstinence vow and encourages them to purchase the silver ring which is the symbol of their vow.
Welcoming the visit of the Silver Ring Thing to Ireland, Mr Sean Mullan, director of the Evangelical Alliance Ireland, an umbrella group of born-again Christians, said his organisation \"will welcome any initiative that works to make abstinence attractive and possible for teens, especially if it treats sex as something that involves the whole person and not just our body parts\".
WASHINGTON (TIME, Oct. 27) -- Where's Jane Fonda I occasionally wonder as I consider tapingover my Prime Time Workout cassette to record ER. She's beenbasking happily the past six years in the shadow of her mogulhusband Ted Turner (vice chairman of Time Warner), watching thebuffalo roam and writing a cookbook (perhaps the only one with asection on eating disorders). Now, however, she has left thedeer stand (she hunts with Ted) and returned to the klieglights. What lured her was a pressing need -- to reduce teenpregnancy -- and an enemy, conservative Republicans who attachedstrings to $250 million for sex education; to get the money,schools must preach \"abstinence only\" to young people. Say theword condom, and you don't get a cent.
Her below-the-waist philosophy got a huge lift from a justcompleted study comparing 7,000 New York City kids who gotcondoms with 6,000 in Chicago who didn't; among the New Yorkersthere was an increase not in the amount of sex but only in thesafety of it. Come November, she will field a team to make 27Georgia clinics \"teen friendly.\" \"You need to have young staff,be open evenings and not confront girls with a pelvic beforethey're comfortable,\" she says. \"When we reduce teen pregnancyby 25%, the rest of the country will want to follow.\"
It's hard to think of a better use of celebrity than savingteenagers from ruining their lives, even if the celebrity comeswith more baggage than could ever fit in an overhead bin. Whilethe rest of us have shed our antiwar activism along with ourbell bottoms, images of Fonda in her shag cut in Hanoi, alongwith stills of her as the sex kitten Barbarella, are the staplesof every profile. But because we didn't let her grow up, she mayhave greater appeal to vulnerable teenagers than the icyperfection of a Nancy Reagan urging, \"Just say no!\"
As she picks up a large piece of chocolate cake, Fonda says thatexercise, once an obsession, has become \"a sidebar.\" \"I'll be 60in December,\" she pronounces with the honesty only someone wholooks 40 could bring to the subject. Being happily married hasfreed her to discover a satisfying life beyond the gym and thesilver screen, she says. Cutting teen pregnancy is a big part ofit. Newt & Co., watch out.
The proliferation of sexually explicit materials has been the hallmark of North American culture for decades. The arrival of the Internet made access to such materials all the easier, and not only for adults but also for teenagers who learn at ever-early age that romantic relations are exciting and sexual encounters are a welcome part of life. When such exposure to sensual images is not accompanied by appropriate sex education, the consequences could be dire for teenagers and society alike.
29-year-old Omar Mateen shot down people in Pulse, a popular gay nightclub, in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 and injuring 53 others on Sunday, June 12. This marks the 133rd mass shooting in 2016 and the largest one in American history.
On June 26, a divided Supreme Court ruled in a five-to-four decision that same-sex couples nationwide have the Constitutional right to marry. Until the decision, same-sex couples were barred from marriage in fourteen states.
For the study, researchers analyzed data collected between 2008 and 2010 from the National Immunization Survey of Teens, a yearly, nationwide telephone survey of households with teenagers ages 13 to 17.
The survey interviewed nearly 100,000 parents about three new vaccines that have been recommended for teens since 2005, including the tetanus booster (Tdap), meningitis vaccine (MCV4) and HPV vaccine.
In the survey, slightly more than 20 percent of parents said their teens were not up to date with their tetanus booster, and more than 60 percent said their teens had not received the meningitis vaccine.
Asked why their teens hadn't gotten these shots, parents' most common explanation was that the children's physician had \"not recommended\" the vaccines. The other major reasons given were \"not needed or not necessary,\" \"lack of knowledge\" and \"don't know.\"
Researchers also found that roughly 75 percent of parents said their teenage daughters were not up to date with the HPV vaccine, meaning the young women had not received all three HPV doses, which are given over a six-month period.
The study faced a limitation in that researchers did not talk to teens or providers, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert and chair of the department of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn.
Schaffner said that in more-conservative parts of the country, doctors are hesitant to offer the HPV vaccine, so they wait until teens are older than 11 or 12 to have these conversations with parents.
But he also said he wonders whether some parents may be hiding their fears about teen sex behind the safety issue, and feels the best way for doctors to frame the conversation with parents is to discuss the vaccine as protection against cancer, and not to make it about their teen's sexuality.
\"We need other sources of information for parents about HPV,\" Darden said. He raised the possibility of using social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to reach out to parents and teens with a double-pronged approach. 781b155fdc
