I’m waiting. :)
Once they are convinced that “everyone’s doing it”, they don’t see a reason to wait. As I have always said, no one is sorry they waited but plenty are sorry they didn’t.
Well, it’s CNN. This must be accurate information. No agenda there. /s
The pop culture gets to them too, they go to publik skoolz and they watch prime time TV.
It is time we conservatives get actively involved in taking them down for real.

Of course I don’t believe this is true for a second coming from CNN. Their agenda is to normalize child sex in any and every way possible and to make parents give up.
If the kid is old enough to have sex, he/she is old enough to move out and live on their own.
I always find it weird when the media refers to Christians as a third party. Aren’t we a Christian majority nation still (even if it’s only on paper)? You’d never hear people talk like this decades ago.
Shallow as a toenail.
It’s not that they are waiting, but rather they can’t.

My son goes to a Christian high school, and he was telling me that he has heard that his high school has one of the higher abortion rates around. He said at the public schools they go ahead and have the babies, but at his school they secrety get abortions.
His school is very, very conservative and very anti-abortion.
Watered down gospel from parents and in churches, plus influence of mass media covers it all, as I see it. Just say’n
Part of the problem is the presure from the media and school. The bigger problem is the presure from the church to date through high school and college before getting married.
Who says they are Christians? How do we know the young people referred to are Christians?
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they are "religious" and involved in 'this or that church." Of course, this would not at all mean that they are "Christians."
Peer pressure can be overwhelming but I have heard of examples like this-- and becoming sexually active at twenty is one helluva lot safer all the way around than starting at thirteen or whatever. If her intentions of abstinence helped her wait till 20 then it was a relative success.
The research on abstinence supports this hypothetical--that it helps delay sexual activity sometimes for several years until the girl or boy is more mature and at least better able to handle it. Of course the pervs at CNN won't tell you that part.
I tried celibacy. My wife hated it.
;o)
Put me in the “I didn’t wait” column.
Christianity and virginity are unrelated. I was a virgin in college when I was an atheist.
A Christian is Saved by faith in Jesus Christ, not saved by their virginity. It’s the right thing to do regardless of religion.
How soooooo wonderful, that we now have a group of sooooooo experts, that know what “Christian” is.
Parents allow teenagers to "date," which is absolutely unnecessary, and is abnormal.
Professing Christian parents are wholly ignorant of Biblical courtship, which if taught by parents to children from a young age would embolden young people to resist modern American (post-Christian) culture.
“80 percent of unmarried evangelical young adults (18 to 29) said that they have had sex”
What the article doesn’t seem to go into is wether or not these kids were raised in Christian households and brought up in church or if they came to Christ AFTER making some mistakes in life.
It never fails to amuse me how some Christians forget that not everyone was raised in a Christian home.
I didn’t come to Jesus until 6 years ago (I’m 42) after a divorce and living a lifestyle that might make Jerry Springer blush. I came to Him with debt up to my eyeballs. Still haven’t gotten out from under enough of it to tithe properly but....He understands that I do what I can.
I don’t condemn these kids until I know more about their background. Even then? Love on ‘em, don’t condemn.
