Parents: do you know what your teens are doing this summer? Consider these alarming statistics:

• 1 out of 4 sexually active teens contracts an STD each year.

• More than 1 in 7 community college students are already single parents.

• 15 percent of sexually active girls have HPV, putting them at risk of cervical cancer.

What can concerned adults do to reverse these trends? Ask Anne Woods. Woods has made it her mission to help young women avoid unplanned pregnancies. She understands the grief and regret that can come from getting pregnant as a young woman. She experienced this herself, and made the very tough decision to give up her son for adoption in her twenties.

Woods is also an eloquent speaker and teacher who believes our society has “sold our teenage girls down the river” by not teaching them to respect themselves. She founded the WiseVoices.com website to provide guidance to parents and help establish a culture of better parenting.

Woods reveals:

• The majority of teens rank parents as their biggest influence in decisions about sex.

• How to talk to your kids about sex, even if you’re blushing.

• How permissive parenting is harming our children.
