The question is not whether you’ll change; you will. Research clearly shows that everyone’s personality traits shift over the years, often for the better. But who we end up becoming and how much we like that person are more in our control than we tend to think they are.
By Alison Calabia published July 1, 2001 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
While the media bombards us with alarming statistics about the
number of teenagers having sex, few reports shed light on what might
encourage teens to become sexually active in the first place. Three
studies offer some insight into sexually active teens: environment, age
of partner and perceived family support may affect young people's
decisions to have sex.
In a study presented at a meeting of the American Public Health
Association (APHA), researchers at the University of Kentucky followed
950 teenagers at 17 high schools in Kentucky and Ohio from 9th to 11th
grades. They found evidence that teens who have intercourse tend to think
their friends are too, even if they're not. "You're 2.5 times more likely
to have sex by the 9th grade if you think your friends are having
sex -- whether or not they really are," says Katharine Atwood, assistant
professor at the Kentucky School of Public Health. Plus, teens tended to
overestimate how many of their friends were sexually active. Only 33
percent of kids in the study had had sex by the 9th grade, but 31
percent said that most or all of their friends had had sex. "If you can
persuade them that fewer are having sex than they think," she says, "that
can have a significant impact on their behavior."
Among young girls, a partner's age is a risk factor for sexual
activity. "The younger the girl is at the age of first intercourse, the
more likely she is to have a much older partner," says Harold Leitenberg,
Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Vermont. His study,
published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, found that of 4,201 girls
in 8th through 12th grades, those who lost their virginity between
ages 11 and 12 tended to have partners five or more years older. For
girls who had sex later in adolescence , the partner's age disparity was
much smaller. Early sexual initiation was also associated with a number
of behavioral problems. "Ignoring the age of the partners, the earlier a
girl was when she first had intercourse, the greater her risk of suicide
attempts, alcohol use, drug abuse , truancy and pregnancy ," Leitenberg
says.
The good news is that while teen sex may not be wholly preventable,
the health risks it involves can be reduced through communication within
the family. More research presented at the APHA meeting showed that
frequent parent-child discussions about sex and its dangers may prevent
teenagers from engaging in risky sexual behavior. Researchers at Emory
University questioned 522 sexually active African-American adolescents
about the openness and support that their families provided. Adolescents
who felt that their families were more supportive were less likely to
have unprotected sex, and thus were at a lesser risk for pregnancy and
disease.

I'm honored to have Brooke Axtell, one of the country's leading experts and advocates for survivors of sexual assault, guest blog. Below are her tips for supporting a teen victim of sexual violence .
It is devastating to discover that a teen you love has been a victim of sexual violence. When faced with their pain and confusion, you may find yourself feeling powerless to help. If the victim is your own child, the sense of grief can be consuming.
Remember, you are not alone. Other parents and allies have walked this healing path and can help guide you and your loved one through recovery.
As the Founder and Director of Survivor Healing and Empowerment , a healing community for survivors of rape, abuse, and domestic minor sex-trafficking, I want you to know that there are many ways you can compassionately support the teen survivor in your life.
Forty-four percent of sexual assault victims are under the age of 18 , so we need to carefully assess the unique needs of young men and women who have endured this trauma . Some of the resources I share will be more applicable to teen girls, but many of these suggestions serve survivors of all gender identities.
Here are seven tips to help begin this journey to wholeness:
1. Encourage your loved one to express herself. Victims of sexual assault are three times more likely to suffer from depression . Psychologist Dana C. Jack calls depression “the silencing of the self.”
Consider finding a counselor who integrates expressive arts therapies (such as art, music or dance therapy ). Creative expression helps teens connect with and process the truth of their experience. Writing as a Way of Healing by Louise A. DeSalvo and The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron are excellent sources of encouragement for a survivor who wants to heal through creative expression.
2. Help her explore contemplative practices . A contemplative practice quiets the mind in order to cultivate a personal capacity for deep concentration and insight. Examples include yoga, tai chi, meditation , and prayer. This is particularly helpful in healing dissociation, a way that trauma victims disconnect from their experience in order to survive.
If your loved one has been abused by a religious figure or someone affiliated with your spiritual community, don’t push religion as a source of healing. Give her space to discover their own spiritual path.
3. Visit the website for Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN) . Through this site, you can search for your local rape crisis center and learn more about sexual assault. Direct your teen to the Online Hotline , an instant messaging section where she will be connected with a trained advocate who will answer any of her questions.
After connecting with your local crisis center, research recovery groups and ask for referrals. She needs to know that she is not alone. Hearing the stories of other survivors helps to heal self-blame and shame . I also highly recommend Invisible Girls: The Truth About Sexual Abuse by Dr. Patti Feuereisen as a recovery companion.
4. Engage her in discussions about the media . Help her dismantle messages that reinforce sexual objectification. Verbal abuse expert, Patricia Evans, says that verbal abuse occurs when someone “tells lies about who you are.” Mainstream media constantly tells lies about who girls are. Make sure that she can critically engage with representations of girls and women that emphasize their value as sexual commodities.
For excellent feminist critiques of pop culture in a teen-friendly space, check out Bitch magazine . SPARK is an innovative organization helping girls differentiate between sexuality and sexualization.
5. Talk about healthy relationships . Surviving sexual assault is one of the greatest predictors for your teen to eventually experience some form of relationship violence. Be proactive in discussing the difference between an abusive and a respectful relationship. Model this in your own life and refer her to Love Is Respect as well as the sex-positive teen site Scarleteen .
6. Honor her boundaries . Ask for permission before touching or hugging the survivor. It is important that she feel in control of her body at all times. You can discuss safety planning, but make sure that you do not take away her freedoms out of your own fear . Check out the Circle of 6 , a cutting -edge app that will help her stay safe.
7. Never blame the survivor . Remind her that it is not her fault. She did whatever she needed to in order to survive. Ultimately, the greatest gift you can give is to be a patient, empathetic listener. To learn the basics of empathetic listening, read a book such as Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D.
Be gentle with yourself and your teen during this time of recovery. Self-care is essential for both of you. Do not hesitate to reach out to a counselor or rape crisis center for support as you process what has happened. Sexual assault is devastating, but there is hope for those who choose a healing path.

The news was shocking: A 15-year-old Florida girl allegedly had sex with multiple partners in a high school bathroom earlier this month, sparking an investigation by police and hundreds of news stories.
But advocates for the girl have come forward with a troubling explanation – that the girl had previously been a victim of human trafficking.
As news of the incident became international news, the girl’s mother contacted NBC 2 to share the girl’s alleged tragic history.
