The teen years can be a minefield of confusing and embarrassing experiences, with transitions in every aspect of life: interacting with family, socializing with friends, and coping with a school workload and perhaps a first job. Add to this burden the need to endure the physical changes that come with puberty and young adulthood. Teens often feel uncomfortable discussing these changes with adults and may be especially hesitant to approach parents or teachers with questions about sexual health. Yet many teens do need guidance in understanding the reproductive-health issues they face, whether or not they are personally sexually active.

This volume of the Teen Health Series provides information about all aspects of sexual health, from what's normal and what's not during puberty to facts about sexually transmitted diseases. Also addressed are questions about hygiene, diseases of the reproductive system that are not sexually transmitted, pregnancy and contraception, and societal issues such as date rape.
