No all teens having sex. You are being defensive over my opinion.

"No all teens having sex"? I can't even comprehend what you are saying. Aren't you being defensive over "my" opinion? Then you gone on to basically calling me a liar about what I know about my own kids?

Every single person I know whose sexual activities I am aware of (which obviously isn't every person I know) was sexually active in their teens. Your's may not be/have been but that would make them very much the exception to the rule.

PS... My parents would probably say the same as you, but it isn't true.

Maybe it's the types of families with teens you hang with? I am a Christian and the circle of friends that I know for the most part don't have that problem. Here are some stats for you to chomp down on.

I highly doubt your children talk to you about their sex lives in detail. It is laughable when a parent thinks they know all about what their teens are doing and who they are doing it with.

We should take a poll, who here on city data told their parents when and with whom they lost their virginity with when it happened?

The answer is that we need to go back to teaching youngster "morality" and parents need to control all activities and never allow youngsters to run around totally unsupervised. I remember my first date...his mother drove us to all activities and there were always adults at those activities. Morality was understood and those that slipped were totally ostracized from our circles. It was common acceptance. When did we lose morality and pride in one's self.

When did we stop recognizing that parenting requires adults...youngsters haven't lived long enough to raise children properly and few of these kids from teen pregnancy will have much of a chance at a good life as they would had they been born to adults, preferable married adults.

For some reason society has devolved into "oh, but all kids are sexually active." No, all aren't and even so, those who are have not been taught responsibility and we adults have accepted that instead of handling the problem. We adults have screwed up and discarded our responsibility to raise our children properly if we have accepted "teenage sex is okay...just give them protection." This attitude tears down Society and individual self-respect along with it. That's just for starters.
