Help for teens with sexual behavioral problems...update | riversled's Blog

Over the last few years, treatment programs for teens have seen a significant increase in students struggling with sexual behavioral problems. Here are a couple of true stories. (Each of these stories were published as magazine articles in the UK. They appeared in ActioNetwork Magazine.) This is a look into a side of life we often find uncomfortable.

This is a video of an actual conversation with parents whose sons are struggling with sexual behavior problems. For families that find themselves in this same situation, it's important to know that...you're not alone.

Growing Desire 1 & 2

This is part one and two of an award winning series produced by CBS 7 out of Texas. The two part series explores the issues surrounding the growing problems of teens and pornography. It features staff and students at Oxbow Academy, a residential treatment program that specializes in working with students struggling with sexual behavioral problems.

There is help available to parents who don't know where to turn when faced with these very complicated issues. This is a video that discusses the value of an independent educational consultant who can assist families in navigating these rough waters when they occur.

Hello! I have never giving much thought to teenage sexual behaviour problems.
But after reading this journal I think that maybe I should start thinking about it a bit.
Years ago a teenage boy in the neighbour hood chased a girl around a table while holding a knife and screaming - be my girlfriend - .
When we first heard about it we just thought it weird.
And when we heard that the girls boyfriend punched out the guy who
chassed his girl friend around a table with a knife we thought it was the end of the story.
But now I figure that kid had some kind of teenage sexual behaviour problem and as far as I know he never got any help for it.
Also I am starting to think that the teenager that punched out the guy
might have had a budding teenage sexual problem because it seemed that he was more mad that the guy wanted “his” girlfriend.
Any way at the moment I can not think of a way that I can help your
battle but I do salute you. Cheers!
