Parents are not doing their part. I'm not sure if it's because they don't know specifics themselves, or if they're just afraid to talk about sex openly, but I think it's a huge cause of the problem.
Also, I'm not saying that all youth should have sex once they're mature. Just that I don't see anything wrong with it if they do in an educated manner.

If my daughter lost her virginity at her current age, I'd be devastated. She knows the implications, is a relatively very bright girl. Thirteen is a child and 15 not much more than one. I'm extremely liberal about just about everything, but children having sex, no. You're one of very few, for whatever reason. Girls that I worked with who engaged in sexual activity(13-14) did it for a number of reasons, none the right ones. And not one admitted to enjoying the experience-it was to 'keep the boyfriend' or get one.
