Using your own knowledge as well as the information from this Web page, briefly answer the following questions: How does popular culture affect how we think about sexuality throughout the lifespan? What difficulties do sexually active populations face as they get older? How can some of these problems be overcome or avoided?

This web page, originally written for teachers and school principals, discusses the psychological difficulties faced by non-heterosexual adolescents as well as the problems with therapies that try to "cure" homosexuality.
After reading the Web page, imagine that you are a 16-year old female from a conservative town and that you recently realized that you are sexually attracted to women. What feelings and thoughts would you have? Who, if anyone, do you think you would tell? Now place yourself in the position of the girl`s father. What questions would you have? How would you react?
