The Public Square - Teens and Sex from Josh Lobel on Vimeo.The latest episode of "The Public Square," a monthly cable-TV program from Jeff Thielman and the Arlington Studio, deals with teens and sex.. The new risk behavior survey shows almost half of Arlington High School 12th graders have had intercourse. Are we doing enough to prepare them for this aspect of their lives?
This month, "The Public Square" interviews your neighbors on the street, then visits Lexington and Cambridge to see what they offer their students. The program includes talk to a health educator and author of "The Talk," Dr. Sharon Maxwell, who thinks there are major parts of the conversation that are being left unsaid.
The shows wraps up with a panel of Arlingtonians who discuss what's happening in town today.
Panelists include Dr. Carole Allen, pediatrician and chairman of the Board of Health; Amanda Formica, AHS 2006 grad; Cindy Bouvier, director of health and wellness for the school department; and recently retired school committee member Susan Lovelace, who was also the past director of the Alliance for Teen Pregnancy.
The program is broadcast at the following times on the public cable channels:
Daily except Sunday and Wednesday, 4 p.m.
Wednesday and Friday, 8 p.m.
Friday, 8 a.m.
All broadcasts are on the public channel -- Comcast 8, Verizon 31, RCN 3.
