Teenage Sexuality

Actually, the latest statistics show only about 50% of high school students are having sex, still far more than when I was in high school in the early sixties. The trend seems to be reversing, as more kids are choosing to avoid all the problems associated with casual sex.You don't hear about it much, but thousands of teenagers have taken a vow of chasity until marriage. Abortion rates are at a 36 year low, for example, which may or may not be associated with less sex among teens, but still that is promising news. Kids need to kow that "everybody is not doing it" as the media and popular culture leads one to believe. Teenagers today, need to know it's OK not to have sex. and not feel the pressure to do it. If a young girl is taught responsibility, self respect, values, and morals from an early age, there is no need to worry about this movie influencing her in a negative way.
