BOOK REVIEW -


SEX LIVES OF AUSTRALIAN TEENAGERS - By Joan Sauers Random House Australia, 2007


I've been reading this book and find it FANTASTIC. It is just sooo easy to read and has some great information (but beware it is NOT a scientific study and the numbers of young people that it questioned are quite small)

Below are some of the stats that you will read about in this book:
28% of girls and 11% of boys have been pressured or forced into having sex

76%of girls and 60% of boys said when asked whether what they learned in sex ed classes at school helped them with thier actual sexual experiences said 'Not much' or Not at all'

65% of girls and 83% of boys said thier parents had 'not much' or 'not at all' influence on them re whether or not they have sex.

86% of girls and 84% of boys said religion had NO influence on whether or not they have sex.

As you can see some great reading and interesting stats for all of us. SHineSA has 2 copies of this book

Check it out
