If your teen has engaged in illegal or problematic sexual behavior, you might be in crisis and wondering what to do. You may be feeling Anger. Shame. Confusion. Shock. We can help you learn more about adolescents who are engaging in problematic sexual behavior.
Teens sexual development is a dynamic process during this time in their life. Though each family may have it’s own expectations or ideas for what is appropriate and right for their teen, it is developmentally appropriate for most teens to be interested in romantic relationships, begin to explore attraction and sexuality, and engage in consensual sexual behaviors during adolescence.
In contrast, problematic sexual behavior (PSB) includes, but is not limited to, non-consensual sexual behaviors, sexual acts with someone much younger than the teen, viewing, sending, or sharing own or other minor's nude photographs, or excessive pornography use. This topic might feel difficult to discuss and even consider. We’re here for you. With supervision, guidance, and treatment, young people who have had problematic sexual behavior can grow up and lead healthy and happy lives making good decisions.
