- W333887239 abstract "Abstract This study investigates the factors that contribute to, and constrain, conversations between adolescent females and their mothers about sexual matters. Essential areas of investigation include the role of mother-daughter connectedness and parenting style on teens' decisions to have conversations about sex and utilize safe sex practices. The conversational constraints that inhibit adolescent females and their mothers from having sexual discussions are investigated, and the relational dynamics that contribute to mothers' and daughters' having these types of conversations are examined. This study also investigates the reasons why it is imperative that mothers have knowledgeable sexual discussions with their daughters. The Problem A mother is passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, Mom. With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands: Dear Mom, It is with great regret and sorrow that am writing you. had to elope with my new boyfriend because wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I've been finding real passion with John and he is so nice--even with all of his piercing, tattoos, beard, and his Motorcycle clothes. But its not only the passion mom, I'm pregnant and John said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have more children with me and that's now one of one my dreams too. John taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so John can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don't worry mom, I'm 15 years old now and know how to take care of myself. Some day I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren. Your daughter, Judith PS: Mom, none of this is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card, which is in my desk drawer. love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home (Anonymous, n.d.). This letter reflects the experiences of many teenagers. At times, both parents and teenagers have problems communicating with one another. It is often hard for parents and teenagers to engage in everyday discussions. It is understandable that they may not have discussions about the more difficult to discuss topics, such as sex. If teens feel disconnected or judged by their parents, then it makes sense that they would have difficulty communicating about such a private topic as sex (Albert, 1998; Lingren, 1997). If parents feel that their teenager has an I know it all attitude or talks in a flippant manner, then the parents may not even attempt to have a conversation about sexual matters (Elkind, 1978; Feldman & Rosenthal, 2000). This investigation focuses on these conversational constraints, along with other factors, that contribute to, and constrain, sexual discussions. Nature And Scope Of The Problem The relationship between an adolescent and his or her family is a crucial factor in sexual knowledge, values, and behaviors. The adolescent's family is the primary social influence, which makes it imperative that parents discuss sexual risk and protective factors with their teenagers (Howell, 2001; Young-Pistella & Bonati, 1998). Teens need to engage in knowledgeable conversations with their parents about sexual matters, since the family's influence can have a vital impact on teens' sexual decision-making. For this particular study, am interested in understanding mothers' and daughters' experiences pertaining to conversations about sexual matters and what meaning they construct from these discussions. …" @default.
