Were did we go wrong? Is it the magazines with super skinny models? The TV shows full of people who must not eat? The air-brushed bill-boards? When did we as a society make all the teenage girls, and women for that matter, feel so bad about the way their bodies were created that they want [...]

We all know that the way we view ourselves has an impact on how we feel. If we don’t feel good about our outside it can be hard to feel good about our inside. How does this impact sex? It might seem obvious that feeling less than attractive on the outside can lead many women [...]
Teens and Parenting: What they still need as they grow
Posted by: Sarah on: July 7, 2011
As kids transition from children to pre-teens to teens a few things remain the same for most kids. They still need love, attention, and praise. They also still crave the traditions from childhood like a special cake on their birthday etc. Teens become independant so quickly in our modern society, and it is easy to [...]
Teens and Drinking: Epidemic?
Posted by: Sarah on: July 6, 2011
It is hard to believe the levels of teen drinking in our communities. Sure there are the small groups of teens who manage to avoid it, and yet most end up drinking at one point or another. This may be anything from an occasional drink at a party, to binge drinking on weekends, to drinking [...]

Lately I have seen too many college kids with one thing in common: they have no idea what they want to do or how to get there. This may seem typical and ok. We may think, “well of course they don’t know yet”. The problem is that these students are getting degree that may not [...]
Teen Girls and Body Image
Posted by: Sarah on: October 14, 2010
I can’t tell you how many beautiful teenage girls I meet who feel ugly. It is a crazy epidemic! We all know who to blame: fashion magazines, TV, movies etc. It still does not change how girls feel. Fortunately there is a pretty easy fix. This will sound crazy, especially for image obsessed teens, but…Don’t [...]
Teens and Sex: When to start talking
Posted by: Sarah on: January 18, 2010
Not that you have missed the boat if you already have a teenager, and you haven’t really touched topics like sex and alcohol/drugs, but the boat is certainly on its way out to sea. I suggest you run to the dock and jump before it is really too far gone! Every year younger and younger [...]
Sexting and Teens: you write it, it’s yours
Posted by: Sarah on: September 30, 2009
For some reason the teens I know keep writing things on impulse! Oh wait, that’s how the teen brain operates. We are in a scary new world of written communication. There are texts, and face book messages, and tweets, and all of them are out there for lots of people to see. Unfortunately teens do [...]

OK, so apparently I got a lot of peoples attention with my last blog about oral sex. The stats were off the charts. I figured I would throw another controversial one at you. I got a question this week about anal sex and whether you are still a virgin if you have anal sex. Apparently [...]
Teens and Oral Sex: not just for movie theatres anymore
Posted by: Sarah on: September 19, 2009
There is an alarming trend when it comes to teens and oral sex. It seems to be happening at younger and younger ages and in more and more scary/creative places, like school buses and school bathrooms. Teens seem to flock to oral sex as an alternative to “real” sex that allows them to keep their [...]
