Doctors don’t talk to adolescents about sex, by Stephanie Smith, CNN , Dec 31 2013.

Exposure therapy aids teens with PTSD, study finds, by Geoffrey Mohan, Los Angeles Times , Dec 24 2013.
“Teens who have been sexually traumatized benefit more from therapy that includes recounting the assault than from supportive counseling, a study suggests. Such exposure treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder has had some success among adults. But it has not found favor for treatment of teens because of fear that it could exacerbate symptoms for young adults who have not developed robust coping skills. ”
More students think marijuana is OK, by Jaque Wilson, CNN , Dec 18 2013.
“Most teens may be "Above the Influence" when it comes to cocaine and cigarettes, but marijuana use is growing among students. Sixty percent of U.S. high school seniors do not see regular marijuana use as harmful to their health, according to this year's Monitoring the Future survey from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. More than a third of the seniors surveyed reported smoking marijuana in the past 12 months. ”
Breaking the Silence, by Matthew Hay Brown, The Sun , Dec 14 2013.
“The outrage over sexual assault in the military has focused largely on female service members, and with reason: A woman in uniform is much likelier to be targeted than a man, Pentagon surveys indicate. But because male service members greatly outnumber females, officials believe the majority of sexual assault victims - 53 percent in 2012 - are men. These men - an estimated 13,900 last year alone - are far less likely than women to report an attack. Only 13 percent of reports last year were filed by men, military data show. ”

Yelling, threatening parents harm teens' mental health, by Allison Bond, Reuters , Dec 10 2013.
“Threatening or screaming at teenagers may put them at higher risk for depression and disruptive behaviors such as rule-breaking, a new study suggests. "The take home point is that the verbal behaviors matter," Annette Mahoney, who worked on the study, said. She's a professor of psychology at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "It can be easy to overlook that, but our study shows that the verbal hostility is really relevant, particularly for mothers who scream and hit, and for fathers who do either one," Mahoney told Reuters Health. ”
