Abstract
This paper explains that, in order to implement effective campaigns to increase safe-sex practices in teenagers, education efforts must be directed to combating the false notion of ?invincibility", safety, and problem-solving skills must be taught. The author specifies that youth must be introduced to strategies for introducing condom use when the situation presents itself. The paper relates that, to reduce the cognitive dissonance between the teenagers? stated intentions and their actual behavior, new methods of influencing behavior change include actively recruiting students to spread the safe-sex message to their peers.
From the Paper
"For the purposes of the first goal of a HIV/AIDS campaign aimed at youth, the education component would ideally be administered in schools. This could be incorporated as part of the curriculum and would reach most teenagers in question. However, education campaigns to date have fallen short of their goals and would need some changes to be more effective. A more accurate assessment of the risks associated with unsafe sex should be included so teens appreciate the data that supports the message. Different delivery media have also proven to be effective. Videos that inform and encourage situational coping skills have been shown to work."

Outline
Introduction
Literature Review
From the Paper
"As the years have progressed, especially in terms of scientific and technological sophistication in the health field in the last century, new methods of contraception have been increasingly effective and successful. But a large part of effective contraception remains awareness and education regarding how to safely and successfully apply these methods. Effectiveness is an important factor to consider when choosing a method of contraception, but this effectiveness only goes as far as the individual making the choice is educated in terms of the successful and correct application of the method of contraception. With new contraceptive methods becoming available all the time, it is
important to keep up with new advances and learn as much as possible about the most effective and efficient means of contraception."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the issue of teenagers working part-time jobs. The writer points out that research shows that teenagers who work ten to fifteen hours a week do learn responsibility. However, the writer also notes that teenagers who work over ten hours a week have problems academically and socially. The writer maintains that teenagers who work do better if they work less than ten hours a week, because students who work too many hours experience academic, social, and personal consequences.
From the Paper
""Approximately 75% to 90% of adolescents are employed at any one time during the school year" (Hansen and Jarvis 2000, 417). Considering the statistics on adolescents working, the question arises whether it is beneficial or harmful for students to work. How does it affect the academics of teenagers? Does it affect them socially? These are important questions for parents to ask. Research shows that teenagers who work ten to fifteen hours a week learn responsibility, but teenagers who work over ten hours a week have problems academically and socially."

From the Paper
"The teaching of abstinence as an approach to public school sex education will be discussed with regard to the questions what, when, how, and why. Although nine in ten Americans agree that schools should teach kids about sex (Shapiro, 1993, p. 56), concensus ends here. Educators and community leaders must decide how best to answer the above questions if the dialog over sex education is to result in some common ground. If educational leaders cannot agree on how best to approach the abstinence question, the future of sex education as part of a well-rounded health education curriculum is at stake.
States have left the sex education aspect of health education up to local districts in the same manner that the federal government has left it up to the larger community to decide what constitutes pornography. In essence, states have.."

Some now claim that they have become diseased from the implants and that the implants are making them sick. Teenagers are at an increased risk for problems when it comes to breast implants."

Abstract
This paper investigates the identification of the underlying reasons for the continuing high levels of unemployment among African-American teenagers with a specific focus on African-American teenagers in the Syracuse MSA. The objective of the proposed research study is to develop reliable information that provides a basis for the development of initiatives that will lead to higher employment levels (and, conversely, lower levels of unemployment) among African American teenagers. The paper also suggests possible solutions to the problem of continuing high levels of unemployment.
From the Paper
"Sustained economic growth in the United States over the past five years has caused the national unemployment rate to fall below five-percent in 1999. The 3.8 percent unemployment rate in November 1999 (the latest month for which such data have been reported) is a full percentage point lower that the rate in January 1999 and 47.9 percent lower than the 7.3 percent unemployment rate in January 1994. This level of unemployment is the lowest that has been sustained for any period of time in the United States for decades. Because of the low overall rate of unemployment in the United States, many people (both politicians and the general public) appear to think that unemployment has become a non-issue in contemporary life. The fact is, however, that unemployment remains a critical issue in this country when the overall rate of unemployment is disaggregated to reveal the rates of unemployment among specific population groups such as minority males generally (but especially African males), and teenagers generally (but especially African American teenagers). For such population groups, the improvement in the overall unemployment situation has transformed their plight from one of utter disaster to one of debilitating frustration, as their rates of unemployment remain in excess of 12 percent. For African American teenagers, the unemployment rate reached 31.3 percent in March 1999 before dropping to 28.4 percent in November 1999."

From the Paper
"....I have found through other?s mistakes, abstinence is the only form of ?safe sex.? Religion is one of the main reasons why adolescents choose abstinence. God created everyone as a sexual being. Through my beliefs, I have chosen not to have sex before marriage. Suddenly, virgin geek is giving way to virgin chic. The fear of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, are not the only reason for saving sex for the marriage bed. Despite the religion and social reasons to not have sex, the consequences alone are reason enough to choose abstinence. People who are sexually active say they have ?safe sex,? they always use protection. Choosing abstinence is the safest and most respected decision anyone can make..... "

Grief Counseling for Teenagers after the Death of a Friend, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines the way teenagers deal with the death of a friend and how it differs from the way adults might grieve and talks about the issues that must be dealt with when trying to resolve a loss and dealing with grief. The paper stresses the importance of grief counseling and how those teenagers that do receive counseling after the death of a friend generally come out of their grief better adjusted and capable of handling the world than those who have locked their grief up inside and simply keep it private.
From the Paper
"When a friend dies, teenagers handle that grief differently than adults would, but they still grieve very deeply. Much of their pain and grief comes from the fact that most teenagers lose friends to sudden death, such as traffic accidents, than to anticipated death, such as might come from cancer or other progressive illnesses. Whatever the cause of death, however, grief counseling is vitally important for these young people so that they can adjust to the death and become accepting of it. This is the only way that they will move on with their lives and learn to enjoy things once again. This is not the same as asking them to forget their friend or the pain that they feel at their friend's passing, but is rather asking them to learn ways to cope with the pain, so that it is not always present and life can move on."

A study of the rise of illicit drug use among teenagers.

Abstract
This paper examines how according to recent surveys, there has been a rise in the use of illicit drugs amongst teenagers and in particular, ecstasy. It also looks at how drugs have become become more readily available in a variety of markets such as the internet, in order to cover a wider area for distribution. It evaluates how teenagers have been a prime source for these internet-dealers and while certain drugs have seen a drop in their use, it is only because they have been replaced by more illicit and easier to obtain drugs.
From the Paper
"This increase in the use of Ecstasy has been partially blamed on its increase in availability. The Institute?s results showed that ?the proportion of 12th-graders saying that they could get it "fairly" to "very" easily [rose] from 51% in 2000 to 62% in 2001? (Ecstasy Usage, para 4). It is believed that turnaround in drug use occurs when young people realize that the use of the drug is dangerous, as has been noted in anti-drug campaigns targeting marijuana use and heroin, but in the case of Ecstasy, teenagers are not regarding the drug to be dangerous enough to discontinue using it."

Abstract
Sleep deprivation seems to be a common ailment of our society. This paper examines how lack of sleep affects teenagers in terms of education and road accidents. It discusses research on the subject and ways that teens can be educated about the benefits of adequate sleep.
From the Paper
"Transportation is one of the major issues that is addressed in the NSF report. School bus time tables are set to extremely complicated schedules, and changing these according to changing school schedules would mean large investments. Extracurricular and community programs outside of school hours are also affected by later starting times. There is less daytime to commit to such activities if schools were to start later. This is then also related to safety and travel issues, as there are dangers associated with late extracurricular activities. It is therefore very important to take all of these issues into account when considering change to a school schedule."

Abstract
While thousands of teens have become pregnant every year for centuries, it has only been in the last three decades that teen-pregnancy has been addressed in any kind of open manner. Now, we as a community have the opportunity to help our pregnant teenage girls achieve a full and rewarding life. The problem is that we have few structures developed within our school systems for career and life counseling specifically designed to help this population. The information that follows is a justification for the development of a comprehensive career-counseling program that will directly improve the current and future lives of pregnant teenage girls.
