Do you even have a HS student. Do you know girls give away BJ's like it is Halloween candy. This generations "spin the bottle" has been taken to a whole new level.

I don't have a HS student, but I always find claims like this interesting, because all the sources I read say that teens are actually having less sex these days--rates have dropped steadily since 1988 (when many of us were teens).

Even Fox says so!

You realize the study says that 72% of teens are having sex instead of 78%. So 7 out of the 10 girls are having sex. You think that is low?[/quote]

Nope, not low, but lower than my generation. [/quote]

71% of 19-year-olds, 61% of 18-year-olds, 48% of 17-year-olds, 33% of 16-year-olds, 20% of 15-year-olds, 11% of 14-year-olds, 5% of 13-year-olds, 2% of 12-year-olds.

Am I going to panic about this? Nope.

But thanks for making the point that the "OMG! Slutty dresses!" stuff is really about teenage girls having sex.[/quote]

1 out of 10 that have not completely gone through puberty, 1 out of 3 that are sophomores or juniors. 1/2 that are juniors/seniors, 2/3 + senior year.

This does not even count BJ's which are apparently "not sex".

Parent your kids please. Being aware and going to "panic" are very different.
