So, I know that we all worry about our girls and the way they treat their bodies and whether the boys (or girls) they're in relationships with are respecting them and the choices they've made about their sexuality. But a recent study shows that despite the fact that teenage pregnancy is on the rise, teenage sex is not. Which leads one to the conclusion that what we should be worrying about is not IF they're having sex, but HOW they're having sex if they are having it. Because the teenage pregnancy problem seems to stem from the "abstinence only" approach our schools have taken in recent years. What do you think Girl Scouts can do about this?
Here is the NYTimes article about the study: The Myth of Rampant Teenage Promiscuity
