Teens and Sex.

What are your thoughts on these results? Do you believe them or not based on your experience and here at CHS? What does CHS need to do to educate and prevent these statistics from being so high?

On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.52 percent of survey respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.24 percent of teens with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.About 50 percent acknowledge that they’ve hit someone.One out of three teens has tried drugs.

These results do not come as a shock to me. Girls are having sex at a younger age every year. Douglas is a small town, so I don't know many people with STDs. I don't know much about people having unprotected sex with STDs, but I think its pathetic. I don't understand how you could have sex, get a disease from it, and not care about giving it to others. That is so sad. I also don't understand how young girls could look forward to being teen moms. You shouldn't just not care, and plan for it. I think the girls who want to be teen moms are immature and want nothing in life. But, I do have a few friends that have had a baby during high school, but they didn't plan on getting pregnant. That's different. I could go on for days talking about this. I think fighting is ridiculous. There are many fights at our school. Most of them are over the most ridiculous things.
