Your Call 031008 How are young girls learning about sex?

How are young girls learning about sex and what should we teach them? On the next Your Call, we'll take a look at sex education for young girls. The United States continues to have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the industrialized world--almost twice as high as those of England and Canada, and eight times as high as that of the Netherlands. With a decline in sex education and rise in abstinence-only programs, where do girls go to learn about their bodies? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Ivy Chen, a sexuality health educator at San Francisco State University
