Review of Generation Next: Sex

The work highlights that little has changed for teenagers. Sorting out the conflicting and confusing messages of society and sex hasn't become any easier. Depending on your culture, it may have become even harder. For instance, the girls in Africa have more opportunities available to them than previous generations, but as teenage mothers, their reality hasn't caught up to their potential. Strongly biased towards the voices of girls,and exceedingly heterosexual in its reporting, it is a disappointingly predictable and very soft article. It doesn't offer any surprises or grand insights, which I admit I was hoping for, but did a dependable job of filling 20 minutes.
