Research has shown that teenagers who have absent fathers or lack parental supervision are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior. Additionally, exposure to sexually explicit media can increase the likelihood of engaging in sexual activity at a younger age, and engaging in sexual activity without using contraception or protection. While involvement in church or service programs can promote positive values and behaviors, it is not a guarantee that the teenager will not engage in risky sexual behavior. Therefore, the most likely teenager to engage in risky sexual behavior is Monica, whose father is absent, and who watches sexually explicit movies.
