• “Some teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin
puberty because the body goes through many changes. These
changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it
can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others.
They may compare themselves with the people around them or
with actors and celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.”

• In a research by University of Central Florida’s Daniel
Agliata, he found that exposure to media images of
the ideal male body, defined as lean and muscular,
can have deleterious effects on mood and body
satisfaction in men.(Agliata)
• In another research by South Florida’s J. Thompson
she found that magazines and televison may lead to
body image dissatisfaction and eating disordered
symptomatology among girls and
women.(Thompson)

• “Preventing teenage pregnancy may also
come down to overcoming parent-child
communication barriers. The National
Campaign reports that teens say their parents
influence their decisions about sex, love and
relationships the most”(livestrong.com)

• Our task force quickly found from our work
that infant mortality was not specifically a
medical issue but a socio-economic one. As
corollary to the findings, a separate study
group was formed to address teen
pregnancy. This group documented that teen
pregnancy was one of the root causes of
infant mortality. (dccampaign)
12. In your opinion, what must happen in order to
change attitudes of bigorty and bias perpetrated in
America toward homosexuals?
13. Our hypothesis was that a lot of the
guys would be strongly opionated
toward not changing anything, and the
women would feel strong to change
something.

• North Carolina laws protect against
discrimination for race, religion, or country of
origin by classifying them as hate crimes, which
carry stiffer penalties. Assistant district attorney
James Blanton said, “Sexual orientation is not
one of the protected classes. If someone
commits a misdemeanor assault based on the
fact that the victim has a different sexual
orientation that they're not satisfied with, it
would not bump it up to a felony.”(wwaytv3)

• “a difference between heterosexual males and
females in their ad-herence to traditional
gender role attitudes may be a mechanism
that is partly responsible for the gender
difference in negative attitudes toward gay
men” (Kerns)
17. What 3 thinks would improve the
exchange of communication between
parents and teens regarding sexual
relations?
18. In our opinion we thought that people
would say that families need to be
closer together, talk, and communicate
better.
21. Scientific Source
• “55% of women reported their mothers
provided them with at least some information
on contraception whereas 20% of fathers did
the same. 2/3 of mothers and 1/3 of fathers
give information about sexual relationship
topics such as postponing sex, dating partners,
and sexual predators. Only half of all mothers
and less than a quarter provided discussion
about std’s and hiv’s.” (Hutchinson)
22. Do you feel that some sexual
behaviors have become fads or
something to do because the
perception is that everyone is doing it?
If so, could you name some of these
fads? Why might this be the case?
23. Our hypothesis was that it would be
pretty down the middle on this
question.
24. Results
Feelings
Yes, boys feel pressured
to have sex
yes, girls will do what they
can for attention
yes, both feel the
pressures of having sex
no
no, its all about how you
feel personally
26. Scientific Source
• “Findings from this study show the following
that peer pressure and peer conformity can be
reliably and efficiently assessed in young
adolescents, that doing things in order to be
popular with others is strongly related to
feeling pressured by others to engage in
certain activities, and that peer pressure is a
far stronger predictor of risk behaviors and
potential psychosocial difficulties than
popularity.” (Santor)
