Anything in this study about "parents"?

[wideawake]

Word. I feel you.

[NativeNewYorker]

And where the hell are the parents?

...latchkey kids, most likely.

[Rightly Biased]

You'll be pleased when you read it.

Soloman was wise eyound his age

Sometimes girls be dressing all trashy...

If they're old enough to drink and have wild sex, they should be old enough to vote.

[Rummyfan]

Every time I read an article like this the same question pops into my mind: Where the hell are the parents????

[opus86]

Given our sex-obsessed entertainment media, and the fact that Americans support it, should we be surprised by this?

[Paradox]

I hate to sound sexist, but we have ruined our young "ladies". The culture has ruined them. Boys have always been horn dogs, the good thing was that girls, being the fairer and better gender, would say NO, thus civilizing boys into real MEN.

No more, I'm afraid. Oh sure, its probably still a minority of girls, but I think that a critical mass may have been reached already.

"Research shows 16 percent of girls and 20 percent of boys have engaged in sexual intercourse by the time they reach their 14th birthday..."

Well at least that means that 84% of girls have not had sex by their 14th birthday. If they are counting such things as hand-use explorations as sex then the 16% figure is not too shocking. While all sex is sex at least some of these activities to not lead to pregnancy and have a little lower incidence of disease.

I have been a housewife since before our kids were born. WHY? ... someone HAS TO WATCH THE KIDS!~
Not saying my kids are perfect. Not saying there weren't problems and ups and downs. But I was HERE. I wonder where THOSE parents are, that was a great question.

I just wanted my kids to grow up and say I was the meanest mom in the whole world. Made them go to school, study, do homework, eat at the table with manners, dress neatly, stay out of trouble, no drugs/gangs/sex/tattoos etc when they were way too young to even be thinking that way. Guess what? they are all in their 20s now and they THANK ME and they feel sorry for kids whose parents DON'T Watch them closely and MAKE them behave. Thank you GOD!~ HE gave me such WONDERFUL CHILDREN.
My children, my life, my joy.

And where the hell are the parents?

at home watching free cable TV and longing for that next check to come in at the beginning of the month.

But sometimes it's not all our fault. Sometimes girls be dressing all trashy

Self-control used to be seen as a basic virtue. Now, I guess it's a novelty.

Boys have always been horn dogs. . .

Speak for yourself, Buster. :)

It's really not all that new - well, maybe the oral sex thing - Thanks, Bubba.

I lost my virginity in 1972. I was 12. Maybe it was just an unusual neighborhood but this was very common where I grew up, even way back then.

By the time I was 17, I had talked a dozen or more girls into having unprotected sex.

If a girl wished to remain a virgin, she was labled "uncool" and shunned.

Then as now, drugs and alchohol had a lot to do with it.

Some tings never change.

I agree with you 100%. Even now, when some of those gals I graduated from high school with, were confessing, at a party this summer, about having sex when we were so very young... I told my best friend, "If I had done that, even way back then, I would NOT be admitting it NOW! I would be keeping my mouth shut and guarding my secret. I would take a secret like that to my grave!" She agreed. She said we were too busy stealing cigars off my dad's truck (cigar/tobacco salesman) and sneaking off into the woods behind my house to smoke them! LOL We also used to shoot her BB gun. We even skipped school and drank some beer at my house our senior year. We got caught!
