[quote=Anonymous]There is a huge difference between middle school and even early high school. I have a 14 and 16 yo and I know probably more than I should have the love lives of them and their friends.

Few kids have sex in middle school and they are usually the ones you’d guess. My 8th grader says there are lots of rumors about people having sex and that most of it is meanspirited gossip.

However, freshman year this changes. Over half of my 16 yo olds friends (and herself) lost their virginity sometime between the start of freshman year and now which is sophomore year. Most of this happened in the context of a “relationship” but many  of these relationships were pretty fleeting. They got a title of boyfriend from a guy after 3 dates and then they have sex, and break up a month later. As long as they were official, they don’t get much judgment from others. But it’s glorified casual sex really. Definitely some more serious dating too (my daughter dated for 6 months and lost it to him - both were freshman).

Anyway, my daughter is in a friend group with the popular kids  for lack of a better term, and these kids definitely are pretty bold and sexually active.
