[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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'?

What is "premature sex"?

Also, teenagers are actually waiting longer to have sex than they used to; teenagers are more likely to describe their first sexual activity as "wanted" (vs. "unwanted") than they used to; and use of contraceptives has increased as well.

They may be waiting longer to have penetrative intercourse, but kids are sexually active earlier. More oral sex, for example, is one of the things discussed on the show. More kids also do anal now. [/quote]
I agree, although there'll be no proof, per se.

I doubt they'll allow you to observe just to verify their sexual activities.[/quote]
