CHICAGO, IL (August 8, 2007) \u2013 A Youth Specialties Ministry podcast featuring Ginny Olson discussing issues related to teen girls is now available on the ministry\u2019s website.
\n
\nOlson is the author of Teenage Girls: Exploring Issues Adolescent Girls Face and Strategies to Help Them<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Olson is co-director of the Center for Youth Ministry Studies at North Park University and has been widely recognized for her work. The Center is a partnership of North Park University, North Park Theological Seminary, and the Department of Christian Formation of the Evangelical Covenant Church.<\/p>\n

In the podcast interview<\/a>, Olson addresses challenges and opportunities for teenage girls and how youth workers can help them address life issues. Unfortunately, Olson says, girls are not taking advantage of social gains that have been made.<\/p>\n

\u201cGirls now are returning to a place where they are identified as sexualized creatures, so my identity is based on can I attract boys?\u201d Olson says. \u201cI was hoping we were really making progress. And I\u2019m a little disappointed that girls are narrowly defining themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many girls with whom Olson has talked feel isolated and depressed. \u201cThey seem like they have all these social networks going on.\u201d Olson says. \u201cThey\u2019re not necessarily socially lonely, but they\u2019re emotionally lonely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girls need to know that, \u201cThe world is theirs if they want it. So many of the barriers have been broken down.\u201d<\/p>\n
