Show THE SENTINEL Thursday. Nov. 26, 1981 Ptg12 Screening VA loans Sexuality studied continues to pay off Utah teens ... sponded to the same question their answers showed the reverse attitude. The girls who didn't view their parents as strict were more likely to be sexually active, Miller says. He says the same pattern of reverse attitudes occurred for questions like "Do you view your personal achievements as important to your parents?" and "I have lots of close friends." In both these cases the summary of a 90race report on teenage sexuality in Utah seems to be that sexually active girls are more easily distinguishable than their male counterparts. Compared to all teenagers they are more likely to A have abnormal social patterns than boys. According to Dr. Brent Miller, projector director, "Female teenagers involved in sexual activity are more likely to have strained relations with their families in the form of less open communications with their parents, receiving less their for praise active girls responded negatively sexually while the sexually active and achievements viewing their parents' marriage as being less close and warm." The full title of the study is "Comparisons of Utah Teenagers Who Have and Have Not Been Sexually Active," funded by the Utah State Office of Education. associate Miller, professor of Family and Human Development at Utah State University, says the main objective of the study, as the title implies, was to determine the characteristics that set active sexually responded boys positively." Miller says there was also great diversity between, male and female responses to the question "What were the main reasons for having your first intercourse?" "The largest number of females (42 percent) said it was because they were pressured by their partner, while most males (81 percent) said it was because they wanted to experience it," Miller says. He says the characteristics of males and females who had not experienced teenage sexual relations were: had teenagers apart. "The study was not parents with higher to find out how education, began dating many teenagers were later, had more open having sex. We wanted to communications with know why some young their parents, felt school people become sexually met their personal needs, active and if there were attended church more ofpeer, family, school and ten and were more likely religious traits that set to receive adequate sex them apart from youth education from their who were not sexually ac- parents.

The survey results show that Utah teenagers are remarkably similar to teenagers in studies The study was not designed to give a definitive answer on the subject of teenage sexuality, but only to give a profile of teenagers who were most likely to become sexually active and involved in teenage pregnancy, Miller says. to calabrata tha onenina of our new store in I Sandy ... wa are offering spectacular savings on all Instruments.
