The association of adolescents' perceptions of family relationships and adolescent depressive symptoms was investigated using a sample of 2,918 youth participating in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Boys showed fewer depressive symptoms than girls, as hypothesized. In general, adolescents' perceptions of family relationships were negatively related to depressive symptoms. Mother support of father predicted depressive symptoms for girls only, whereas father support of mother predicted depressive symptoms for boys only. These findings contradict previous research that suggested family functioning is more related to outcomes of adolescent girls than boys. Suggestions for future research and implications for marital and family therapists are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While controlling for family background factors, the relationship between being an adolescent child of a teen mother and sexuality-related outcomes were investigated using data from the most recent (1997-2003) National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Adolescents whose mothers were teenagers at first birth were more likely to have had sex by age 16 than adolescents whose mothers were older. Further examination revealed that gender moderated this effect, as this relationship was stronger for sons than for daughters. In addition, adolescent children of mothers with a lower level of education, adolescents who lived in poverty, and adolescents who resided with less than two biological parents at the start of the study were more likely than other adolescents to have had sex. Adolescent children of teen mothers were not less likely to have used birth control at first intercourse than adolescent children of older mothers, but they did predict their chances of pregnancy in the next year to be higher. Ideas for further research are discussed.
