[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess it also depends on what sort of social circle your kids have. This is just not a norm for ambitious UMC youth. Not one of my kid's friends got pregnant in college. All were on birth control and aware of consequences of getting pregnant.[/quote]

It is the norm, but the norm is also termination. [/quote]

Yes, there are terminations, but no, it’s not the norm. Rates of unplanned pregnancies, abortions and unintended births differ across racial, ethnic  and socioeconomic lines. Flatly put: poor women are less likely to use oral contraceptives than their MC/UMC peers. [/quote]

[b]Also, certain demographics sleep around sooner than others.[/quote][/b]

Yes, impoverished girls aren’t as protected by society and have shorter childhoods. Couple that with early puberty and being more likely to be sexually abused by someone they know. It is not quite the easy, carefree  “sleeping around” you describe.[/quote]

I’m not talking about abuse. So you think girls who undergo early puberty are more likely to be sexually abused? That’s messed up.

I’m talking about girls who are precocious and who choose to sleep around. Big difference.[/quote]
What are the demographic stats on those girls that you referenced earlier?[/quote]
