According to Haney (n.d.) pornography has become an epidemic with teens because they are able to find hardcore information with just a few clicks of their computer mouse. All of these addictions are important to study because the teenage years are some of the most vulnerable for many things for our youth. Addiction will stop youth from having a successful life. Getting them to rehab and helping them through it takes time and energy for the family as well as for the teen. Pornography also causes youth to act in sexually inappropriate ways, may cause them to have nightmares and can stimulate them to engage in premature sexual behavior (Haney, n.d.). All of these issues present a problem for youth and their caregivers. My capstone will be centered around youth and addiction and will look at drug abuse (including alcohol abuse) and pornography addiction. I want to find the challenge for youth and addiction and the best practices for effective interventions. My target group is teens 12-16. I selected this topic because I have two teenage daughters and I am constantly monitoring them to be sure they are not falling into any addictive behaviors. In my work, I see many teens who are going through various forms of rehabilitation and some of them make it through, while others do not. I would like to explore the reasons why this is and how we as counselors can help them become successful after addiction. References Drug Addiction Support. (2010). Teen addiction facts.

The problem that I will concentrate on is teen addiction to pornography. This area is a growing problem for teens because they are able to gain exposure to hardcore pornography by surfing the Internet. Many studies have been done on teen addiction as it applies to drug abuse, but few studies have concentrated on pornography addiction. In a Google search for “teen pornography addiction” there were 297,000 sites that gave information about this problem. There are a few journal articles on the subject of pornography and youth addiction, but many more on youth and pornography. I believe this is a problem that has grown over the years. As an example, Flood (2009) states that exposure to pornography for youth has a damaging effect on their psychological well-being. Children who are exposed to pornography early develop sexist views of sex and relationships. The idea of children being exposed to pornography can be deliberate, it can be accidental, voluntary or involuntary. There are many situations that children can find themselves in with regards to pornography. Boys seem to be more susceptible than girls to this issue and this may be because of the difference in the way that boys and girls are raised.
