TITLE V—NATIONAL CAMPAIGN 
TO ENLIST PARENTS IN PRE-
VENTING TEEN PREGNANCY 
SEC. 501. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Teens with strong emotional attachments to 
their parents are more likely to delay becoming sexu-
ally active. Seven out of ten teens say that they are 
prepared to listen to things parents thought the 
teens were not ready to hear. 
(2) Ninety percent of parents of teens report 
that they know they should talk to their kids about 
sex but often don’t know what to say, how to say it, 
or when to start the conversations. 
SEC. 502. ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL CENTER FOR 
PARENTS OF ADOLESCENTS; PROVISION OF 
CHALLENGE GRANTS FOR STATE AND LOCAL

lish and operate a national center for parents of adoles-
cents to carry out the purposes and activities described
