Question

Discuss how the Internet can have a positive or a negative impact on pre-teen an adolescent sexual health. What can parents do to help protect their children from the negative aspects of the Internet? How can parents use the Internet to promote healthy sexual development in their children?

Answer 1

Social media can have a really negative impact on sexual health of pre-teens or teens because they could be subjected to pedophilia or could see explicit images of genitals and maybe see it and think that their genitals are considered 'not normal' or 'abnormal' because of deformities of their sexual areas.

is this what you meant??

Answer 2

Parents can set things in place like screen time limits in order to give children healthy boundaries and encourage them to do a wide range of activities instead of just sitting inside. A way that parents can promote healthy sexual development is by talking about sex education with them when they are of age. Discussing how not everything you see on those videos is how people are intimate in the real world, as some people may see a video on a site like PH and think that that is how all sexual encounters go.
