[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is no general answer.  This is personal to your own children.  Statistics are 45% of teens 15-19 have had sex.  Average age for first time sex in US is 17.

Most 12-15 yr olds are not having sex.  [b]Especially if your younger teen is busy with extracurriculars and a rigorous academic schedule, and they aren’t in a relationship, chances are they are not having sex with anyone[/b].[/quote]

I would love to see a study comparing teens with more extracurriculars and “rigor” with those with less, and age of first sexual activity. My bet is the difference won’t be statistically significant.[/quote]

NP.  I don't know.  The ones I know of in the middle school already into all the things have a whole lot of time on their hands in pretty lightly supervised environments.

Not saying other kids don't find a way if they are so inclined.[/quote]

This is similar to what I have seen as well. The kids with lots of time on their hands and inadequate supervision, are into all sorts of things (and not just sex, vaping, drinking, etc.). The ones with lots of time on their hands but parents who don't try to be their friends are considerably less likely to engage in all fo the above.[/quote]
