Uh, I went to high school from 1959-1963, so my experience goes back a bit farther than yours. I can tell you for an absolute fact that kids were having sex back then. My high school had just 600 students in it. In the four years I was there, I know of at least a dozen who got pregnant, then went to their "aunts" for a few months.
There was even a doctor in town who did abortions. Everyone knew about it, and lots of girls in my high school took advantage of it. It was illegal, but, as was the case all over the country, it was overlooked, since the minister's daughter and the police chief's daughter were just as likely to need that service as any other kid.
At my class' 25th reunion, an anonymous survey was done of the class by someone working on a PhD. The subject was sexuality. The stats came out almost identical to the stats of surveys done today of high schoolers.
And that's the fact. You may like to think that your time was more modest and less sexual, but it wasn't. The 70's and 80's were possibly even more active than the 60's, due to the advent of oral birth control for girls.
Styles change. Music changes. Teenagers having sex does not change.
I never said they weren't. I said it wasn't as common.

A dozen out of 600 over four years? That's a pretty miniscule amount, IMO.

Some will. Some won't. If the society pushes them not to, fewer will. If the society pushes them the other way, more will. That's just plain common sense.
If you want to argue that it's inevitable in all cases, or even most, your appeal will fall on deaf ears. I know better.
