[quote=Anonymous]Gen Xer here with teens now.  When I was in high school so many kids were drinking and having sex.

I know that sex, drugs and alcohol still happen but my 11th grader hasn't even been exposed to any of that at all.  She's never been to a party where teens were drinking, she's never been to a mixed gender traditional "party."  She hangs out mostly with a group of (seemingly) equally wholesome girls and occasionally with a small group of very nice but slightly nerdy guys (who she claims no one in her friend group is remotely attracted to "that way").  She did have her first kiss at a camp over the summer but she claims it was awful and that she just did it to be able to say that she had been kissed.  Sounds like the boy felt the same and they laughed about it afterwards.

I was worried about having teens in this day thinking they would be getting a lot of pressure to do sexual things like BJs as I thought they didn't think of that as "sex," but so far, none of that has come up for our DD.[/quote]
