"Whatever we think about the morality of sexual behavior, can't we agree that teens should be given a clear and consistent message that it is best to wait to engage in sex until they are ready to accept the financial, relationship, and emotional consequences of making that choice?" he wonders. For nearly all teens, he adds, that would be adulthood.

Yet the message they get in school and from the media is that it's no big deal as long as they use a condom.

Hmmmm... Sex and drugs seem to me to be more of a symptom than a cause. I'd look more at the kid's homelife and family history for precursors.

Hmmmm....lemee see....teens who have problems in life that may cause depression can make them more prone to early sexual activity, drug abuse, and other anti-social behaviors which in turn may make them depressed? Is that what they are saying?
