Not everyone is equipped to play this hooking up game. To me this points out how the college environment reinforces the liberal mentality of "you're nobody unless you're gettin' you some."

I wonder how Christian teens do when they leave high school and go off to college.

According to surveys, not very well. Close to 80% of kids raised in the Church leave their first love for temporal stuff.

I'm sure this happens to Christian teens too. I remember back in my early twenties, I fell for a guy from a local Christian college. When we got to talking about where the relationship was going, he admitted that he was thinking with his crotch, and wanted nothing more than a physical relationship. He didn't get one, although I would have liked to have planted my foot somewhere.

If you do then you are poorly informed. Some years ago Ravi Zechariahs described having gone to a Christian College to lecture on sexual/moral purity. He said that after his presentation he was besieged by students to the point of exhaustion. For many days and long hours each day he counseled young people who had wrecked themselves by trashing their sexual purity. He said one, only one, young person came to him to get direction on continued service to God.

I seriously doubt this college was any exception. This will be an overwhelmingly difficult fight for our children and they had better be prepared.

I would venture to say, not much better. Even in Christian colleges these things happen, sex, drugs, drinking. Perhaps not as much but it's still there. The spirit of depravity!

Mine did fine and did not engage in this behavior.
