Young people have a need and a right to know about their bodies and to be educated and informed about their sexual health, yet t

hey face many social, political, and community barriers to receiving and gaining access to the right information. Sex is often a challenging and difficult issue for both youths and adults to discuss. The consequences of not talking about sex, however, can be severe:
Every hour of every day, two American young people contract HIV, 96 become pregnant, and nearly 350 more contract a sexually transmitted disease. . . .

Risk of STDs and pregnancy are primary influences in the sexual decision-making of older teens (ages 15 to 17). Younger teens (ages 12 to 14) are more likely to cite parents, teachers, and religious advisors as primary influences. . .

Nearly 80 percent of teenagers indicate that what their parents have told them and what their parents might think influence their decisions about sex and relationships.

What are the characteristics that make people with psychopathic personality traits successful in business?
nasty-shy [4]
Psychopaths are more likely to gain power through dominance, bullying and intimidation, rather than respect.

Psychopaths are often considered to be charming, engaging and smooth, due to a lack of self-consciousness which frees them from the inhibitions and worries about saying the wrong thing that can cause others to be more socially awkward.

Psychopaths have a tendency to engage in risky behaviour without thinking of the consequences. This impulsivity comes from a lack of fear, according to criminal psychologist David Lykke.

It is commonly thought that psychopaths don’t feel any guilt or remorse, but recent research shows they are capable of such negative emotions, but only when something impacts them directly. In other words, if they hurt someone else, they won’t be racked with guilt like someone else might, but if a situation leaves them worse off financially, for instance, they may feel regret. Psychopaths know intellectually what’s right and wrong, but they don’t feel it, as one expert puts it.

Another key characteristic of the psychopath is that they mostly form superficial, short-term relationships with others, before casually discarding them.
