too many kids in hig school are having sex becasue they see it and hear it every where.   no one teaches them about the responsibility or the dangers of having it.   a percentage is not going to help you decide who is having sex and who is not.  it is just a silly number some person sitting behind a desk got from surveying too few people.\n\nBut if you insist here is one statistic:-\nKids Having Sex \n\nCulture/Society Miscellaneous\nSource: National Liberty Journal\nPublished: March 2001 Author: NLJ Staff\nPosted on 03/10/2001 17:57:13 PST by Pistol \nIn February, True Love Waits, an innovative organization that promotes abstinence among teens, conducted a poll asking," What percentage of your high-school friends are haing sex?"\n\nThe answers were astounding. Only 13 % of the 6,287 respondents (as of February 16) responded that 30% of their friends were sexually involved. However, 30 % of students answered that 30 % of their friends were engaging in sex; and 38 % answered that 60 % of their friends were having sex. Additionally, 17 % said that 90 % of their friends were sexually active.\n\nThis poll illustrates the pressing need for groups like True Love Waits to get out their message.True Love Waits (www.truelovewaits.com) is currently conducting a campaign called "Seize The Net," [sic] in which they encourage young people to sign a pledge of purity. That pledge, already signed by more than one-million students, reads:\n\nBelieving that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate and my future children to be sexually abstinent from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship.\n\nNational Liberty Journal encourages all readers to to urge their children/grandchildren to visit the True Love Waits web page to learn how they can join other young people choosing to remain sexually pure. \n\nYou can also look here:

People might still have careless sex but the awareness of these diseases seems to have tripled. Along with all the funding it takes to run commercials and visit schools in the name of educating people about STD's. I think teens might always be a little careless but as an adult it seems to me that the people in my age group would all rather keep one partner as opposed to having many sexual partners. Like back in the 80's nobody used condoms. As a matter of fact if you could find some numbers on condom sales you might be able to draw on those numbers to back your point up. I also think some people would just as soon pick up a toy or a magazine as opposed to sleeping with someone and catching something. Perhaps that also contributes to the rise in the porn industry.

Obviously you have fallen victim to a conspiracy theory. There are no teen pregnancies where children are told to wait until marriage.  Other countries that teach the mechanics of birth control seem to have half the number of teen pregnancies than the US, but they must be lying in their statistics.\n\nLook at these so called facts and make up your own mind: \n\nThe United States of America has double the adolescent pregnancy and birth rates of any other industrialized country.\n\nThe United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the western world, despite the fact that our teens are not more sexually active than Swedish teens, or Canadian teens, or British teens. Why? Because in the US we don't educate about birth control in sex education classes, we don't discuss it at home, we don't give teens good access to it, and we don't advertise it in our media. Other countries do, and they are rewarded with low rates of teen pregnancy and teen abortions. \n\nA sexually active teenager who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within one year.\n\nGirls have been seduced by someone saying I want to show you something about nature.

THERE SHOULD BE SOME SEX EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS OF SCHOOL\n\nkids are having sex way before high school and don't understand the risks\nkids need to be educated about their bodies and their parents are not doing a good job (many don't even know all the facts themselves)

teenage marriage, teenage pregnancy, or premarital sex... if that's not good, how about the sociallly concerned topics, like the groupings between teenagers, like the popular, the geek, nerds, freaks... things like that... or if not... how about how teenagers could help in the environment or things like that?...

First of all......if your not ready for careing for another human being or mentally ready you should NOT be having sex at all OR use alot of conterceptives. Teenagers and young adults have NO idea what kind of responsability children intale. Don't be in such a hurry to grow up you'll get there.

You can't expect to find the right person by the time you get out of school. High school (middle school?) is just for enjoying yourself, not for finding a serious relationship.

I'm guessing 18. There are a lot of highschoolers, but it seems there are quite a few college age and older, too.

nooooo. the student may be living out a high school fantasy by pursuing you, it is doubtful they are mature enough to be in a relationship with someone 10 years older for awhile. It seems a bit unethical to me as well.

Absolutely!  \n\nMy kids are still in elementary school, but I know that high school is just around the corner.  I think it is appalling that kids can learn those types of things here, or anywhere.  \n\nI am disgusted at the questions kids are asking on here about sex and the like.  I pray that I can steer my kids clear of this kind of filth.  They're great, innocent kids so far.  \n\nKids are even having others do their homework on this site!  Unbelievable!

Dating depends on the maturity of the people involved. If you honestly think that you are mature enough to date responsibly, then dating could be an option. It also depends on the parents. Most middle school dating is innocent. But there are a lot (Even more today then before) that isn't and we're seeing more and more middle school girls with high school guys and even pregnant. Dating in middle school is fine. Sex in middle school isn't. The body is going through a lot of adjustments and it sure dosen't need to deal with that, too.

Those numbers seem a bit generous. I was a total geek loser outcast nobody retard in high school and I still managed to get laid when I was 17. \n\nI would say, a good guesstimate is about six percent or so.

Hopefully no one over 18. I feel sorry for those people. Sex is worth experiencing before marriage.
