[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:00 here. Thank you, OP, for posting the link, as it's a very important discussion topic. I'm just unable to listen right now and am wondering what perspective Diane's guest is coming from.

I think far too many parents have no clue how severely HS/middle school sex is impacting our culture. The CDC has just announced that the biggest jump in suicides is among girls aged 10-14.

Anyone think that premature sex has nothing to do with that?

Anyone think girls aren't suffering from depression when they get dumped by the 'boy of their dreams'?

The CDC didn't just announce it- they announced it in 2007. Why would you think the issue is sex and boys? Those issues  have been around forever. Social media, however, has made bullying and shaming a national sport in middle school. [/quote]

Wrong. The rate among girls ten to fourteen has now tripled.
Of course it's getting fueled by a multitude of reasons, including more and more kids raising themselves in an empty home after school. When and where do you think it's so convenient to have sex?
