color=black><span style='color:black'> is a resource intended to promote
adult-teen communication about media and sexuality, so that young people can
learn to independently analyze media messages and develop healthy media
habits. Today, children and teens spend an average of 6 hours a day with
media. Research tells us that excessive exposure to media messages about
sexuality can contribute to an increase in early and/or unsafe sexual activity
among adolescents. This manual provides an overview of the problem as well as
ideas for ways that parents, educators and other adults who work with youth can
help address the issues associated with unhealthy media consumption. The manual
includes lesson plans for teachers and youth leaders; tips for parents and
prevention specialists; and information about media effects, media literacy and
Internet safety. </span></font></p>
