Overview

Let’s talk about sex, shall we? What? Are you hesitant? Slightly uncomfortable? Or totally psyched to teach this much-needed information?  Whatever your state, your teens are likely riding an emotional roller coaster as well – only their ride often has misinformation on it!  The YSS Lesson Plan Unit that corresponds with the Reproduction website material actually utilizes the nervousness and fears teens have around this topic to broaden their thinking and uncover the facts.  Make sure your teens can separate the facts from fiction with the YSS Lesson Plan.
