It's Time We had a Talk, Whether You Listen or Not

Here’s some good news: Large numbers of parents say they’ve spoken with their kids about the life-and-death issues of growing up today. Here’s some bad news: Large numbers of the kids have no recollection of these discussions taking place. That’s one of the key findings of a study commissioned jointly by Nickelodeon, the Kaiser Family Foundation and Children Now. Although 42 percent of the parents polled said they’d discussed HIV/AIDS with their children, 59 percent of those kids recalled no such conversation.
