What teenagers need to know

 

  • How to say “no” to unwanted touch.
  • To respect the experiences of others and to take them into account.
  • To be informed on the topic of sexually transmitted diseases, types of protective equipment and pregnancy.
  • To be able to talk about their problems and seek help and support in a difficult time.
  • To be able to recognize risky situations and risky behaviors, their own and others’, which can lead to sexual abuse.

    Social networks are a relatively new risk factor. For example, the profiles of children registered as adults are risky, so register your child at an age as close as possible to their real age. It is also a good idea to create such profiles with a parent so that they can look at privacy settings together and how to block and report them.
