I'm not terribly surprised by this, seeping under the supposed prim and proper surface america is teeming with sexual activity that it's not willing to admit to. Adults are trying to pretend that sex doesn't exist, and leaving the kids to find out about its pleasures and consequences on their own. I think for a majority of high school kids, sex is an important factor in their budding social lives, whether they do it or not. ALL students should be taught with FACTS (not these scare campaigns going around, you cry wolf enough and people stop turning their heads) about sex and the dangers of STI's; those students who choose to abstain will only have more reason to, and those who choose to be sexually active are now armed with full knowledge of the risks they take.
and please include links to the articles you post, thanks
