[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.  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.[/quote]

This seems about right to me.

Most of my DD's friends (she is a senior) have not had sex and some have.  The ones who have had sex have a long-term boyfriend in later high school years (junior/senior) OR date a lot.  [/quote]

See this right here is why none of us will actually know the truth. Many teens, guys and girls have sex outside of relationships and most will not know about it because of the shame. And all of those “anonymous” poles that we think are so honest,  the teens still won’t tell the truth in fear it’s not really anonymous. I mean if you had strict parents and had a pole in school, no way are you like I’m 15 and have had 3 partners. Get real.

Only the ones in relationships will admit to it. The other ones are “virgins” like Dione from Clueless.

And don’t get me started on the sexting and photos/videos. That actually PEAKS in middle school. [/quote]
