Teens on Sex

An informative look at adolescent sexual health by an eclectic group of Philadelphia teens and teen peer educators of the Youth Health Empowerment Project. The video was collaboratively made with Y-HEP teen volunteers who powerfully deconstruct myths ("You can't get pregnant your first time."), address common concerns, and give useful, experience-based advice to their peers.

A remarkably realistic, funny and thought provoking role-play about a boyfriend and girlfriend (well played by William Baptist, currently working as Y-HEP's drop-in center manager, and Sasha Vasquez) alone at home negotiating their differing desires is interwoven with candid interviews of young adults, whose views and experiences are contextualized with vital statistical information. This documentary is an invaluable educational tool that will provoke discussion and help teens deal with this all-pervasive issue. The video is still used by Y-HEP and is also part of the Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania video catalog.
