Health Issues

We've selected a few sites to help you answer those questions related to your health. We've included sexual health here too, just in case you have those kinds of questions too. Check these sites out . . .

 

Coalition For Positive Sexuality.

Based in Chicago, this group's purpose is twofold: first, to give teens the information they need to take care of themselves and in so doing affirm their decisions about sex, sexuality, and reproductive control; second, to facilitate dialog in and out of the public schools on condom availability and sex education.

This is the Coalition For Positive Sexuality's site in Spanish.

 

Go Ask Alice

This site addresses health related topics including drugs, alcohol, relationships and sexual health.
