[quote=Anonymous][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]

DS was 17 - varsity sport, club sport, rec sport, 10 AP classes in HS, full time summer job...GF of 2y... evidently, they found time. [/quote]

People.  Stop responding to posts with information or opinions about older teens when you are in a thread talking about 12-15 year olds.  Is this happening over and over because the posts are collapsed?  People are saying keep 12-15 year olds busy.  We can all agree 17 year olds with a girlfriend will find time to have sex.[/quote]

This exactly.  I am talking about MS. They need to be busy. The busier they are, the less issues you will see.  They need to be engaged with their activities, friends, families or they'll run into trouble.[/quote]
