Healthy Relationships

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 15:13 — kcolbourne

Healthy relationships include trust, companionship, respect, affection and intimacy. But some teens are victims of violence in their relationships. They need support and understanding, whether the relationship is still going on or not.

Everyone Has Questions About Sexuality...

Fri, 09/04/2009 - 11:03 — kcolbourne

It's not always easy for anyone to learn about sex in school and many of us have similar questions about sex and sexuality.

Lesbian, Gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students have questions about sexuality that may not be covered in class, and they can't necessarily be answered by a trip to the library. Check out the section on Sexual Orientation on this website for more information & some great links.
