Because of the ease of access to explicit media and the potency of today's pornography, many parents are faced with the difficult and uncomfortable task of addressing pornography use and sexual behavior problems by their children. Research suggests that most pornography and sexual addictions begin during adolescence. Unfortunately, most people don't seek treatment until later in life when the problem has become more pervasive. STAR Guides navigates youth beyond these addictions while they are still young.
