role models

An interesting article from up north on how teens view the influence of their parents…

It might seem like they’re too busy playing with their iPhones or texting their friends to notice, but a new Canadian study says more teens are actually listening to their parents when it comes to sex.

Some teens might grimace with embarrassment or run away shouting when approached on the ticklish topic, but nearly half – 45 per cent – of them look to their parents as their sexual role models, according to an online survey released Wednesday by CHU Sainte-Justine, a hospital centre for mothers, adolescents and children at the University of Montreal.

Only 32 per cent of teens, meanwhile, think of their friends as role models, while 15 per cent look to celebrities and 33 per cent have no role model at all. (Respondents could choose more than one answer.)
