?iiaalitj aost parents
don't. ..Where does your teen get
information about sex? You?
Peers? T.V.? Movies? If you feel
thii information should come from
you as a parent come join us Oc
tober 8 at 7:30 p.m., especially if
(four child is in the seventh grade at
Upchurch.
Upchurch school is going to try
a new approach in family Ufe
material.
It is an approach that is being
tried in many areas in the state.
It is called Postponing Sexual
Involvement.
The series is produced by Emory
University and Grady Memorial
Jfaspital in Atlanta, Georgia.
'The goals of the Postponing
Sexual Involvement Series are:
?To help young teens under
stand the pressures in our society
which influence young people's
sexual behavior.
?To help young teens under
stand their rights in social relation
ships.
"To help young teens deal with
pressure situations through the use
of assertive responses.
?To help young teens postpone
sexual involvement.
?To help parents understand the
pressures in our sogety which in
flue net young people's sexual
behavior.
?To give parents tools to help
young teens postpone sexual in
volvement.
In past programs adults thought
teens needed to be given an array
of alternatives.
Recent research has shown that
this is a good teaching technique
for older teens, but moat 12 to 16
year olds have not developed the
cognitive ability to think through
alternatives.
So this program is designed for
12 to 16 year olds and teaches how
to say "no."
According to the services.
Postponing Sexual InvolveaKBt,
this knowledge and these skills
should help young teens deal with
problem situations so that they can
postpone sexual involvement until
a time when they are better able to
make decisions which have a long
range impact on their lives.
The program also includes an
educational series for parents.
The program would not be suc
cessful without the parents involv
ment.
A parents' night for seventh
graders at Upchurch Junior High
School is scheduled for October 8
at 7:30 p.m.
All other parents of the county
are welcomed.
