Genevieve Wong of Beverly Hills High has taken a look at sexual relationships and gender roles in her article on page 10. Have your
students find out why she has decided to stay a virgin and discuss the following
questions:
• Do the students agree with her characterization that girls are usually “madly in love” and boys “want sex madly”?
• Do the girls really always take the blame, as she argues? Are guys always crude when it comes to sexual relationships?
• What does she say is the best way to rid yourself of these relationship inequalities? Do the students think it is the best way? How would they go about having better relationships?
• How much of an influence do teens believe sexual decisions are influenced by television or other media?
