First of all, how can you believe those stats for sure, what are they based on? A survey of students? I remember doing one of those a few years ago during my final year, I know at least half the people in my group lied one way or another, when it comes to sex, a bunch of guys are even more likely to lie and play this stuff up.

My experience (and it's not out of date yet, I don't think there are many real difference between a middle class white schools in melbourne and a middle class white schools in the US) is that the girls were almost always the zombies, watched MTV, bought the latest trendy outfit, went to all the parties, whatever it took to fit in perfectly, if you're girls are capable of independant thought the chances are you've got nothing to worry about.

Teenagers are horny, it's not world-stopping. Yea, this stuff happens, I'm not denying that but most self respecting teenage girls aren't that interested in randomly giving head. Maybe there is a difference in US schools, I don't know but I still feel the article is overblown. The day I see an article reporting that teenagers ahve sex, some girls are sluts, some guys put a lot of pressure on girls and somehow the world goes on I'll be more inclinded to beleive it.
