Hi! I'm Kristen Alderson. I've played the character of Starr Manning for 10 years and like the character, I'm 16 years old. We decided to start this blog to hopefully get people to start talking about the issue of teen sex. I've learned so much from Starr's actions (mistakes and all) and I am going to share my thoughts on what she's going through each week. If you're a parent and you're worried about your teenage daughter, talk to her. If you're a teen with questions, don't be afraid to ask. Hopefully Starr's story will get you talking. ~ Kristen
