Yeah, what am I thinking. Expect teenagers to exhibit self-control?
It probably won't happen as long as society keeps glorifying sexual promiscuity.
I've been lurking for quite awhile around here. I've noticed that you'd fit in well with Orwell's "Junior Anti-Sex League." Did you get castrated prior to puberty? Not a flame, really! It just seems like you have no concept of sexual attraction or desire beyond what is taught in your bible.
Rip is right on this one and the opinion has nothing to do with lack of sex drive, and I would request you revert back to lurking mode, because your ignorance is a waste of bandwidth.

When you look at the vehicles that influence the 'normalizing' of sexuality among teenagers, they are increasingly far greater than of recent decades, and its very difficult for a teenager, even grade school teenagers, to not broach the issue of having sex. Before the 'information' age, it wasn't (and couldn't be) glorified in nearly the same magnitude.
Sex sells, and as long as that is the case, and as long as this is capitalism, sex will be pushed in as many angles as possible, and those angles are no longer distanced from teens including young teens.
I watched a Maury show yesterday (the talk show for paternity testing

) and an 11 year old girl had sex with a 13 year old boy. They were there for dna testing (he was negative.). They were incredibly regretful about having a child, but when asked, they said they were each currently sexually active with someone else.
Is all this because children are influenced at an early age by the glorification of sex? No, but probably out of the current statistics of teenagers having sex, probably about 80-90% are a direct or indirect result imo (along with many other influences that may make shildren more susceptible to these influences).
