An anonymous survey of more than 10,000 teenage girls and young women reveals shocking statistics: STDs, drugs and unprotected sex are running rampant.

Sorry to be that guy but what does this have to do with /r/MensRights?

Why does this not seem like a huge deal to me? I think we restrict teenagers too much. Many of them are responsible and can handle a sex life. Hell a lot of them manage a sex life and manage to keep it hidden from two sets of parents. Having to be secret about it is what causes some of the danger from diseases and pregnancy. We should just be more open with kids about sex and let them make the decision to participate themselves. Coming from someone who was a teenager once I think teens are getting screwed in modern society. They really do get a raw deal on a lot of things. I don't see that changing though because it's pretty hard to get people excited about teen rights.

Also I expect that kids are sexually active but I know nothing about this survey. I highly doubt it was done in a scientific manner though.

And this has what to do with MensRights?

I'd say the STD and loss of virginity stuff would be pretty even across the board. These girls are obviously having sex with someone, and yes, it's terrible.

This is why we need comprehensive sex education as a mandatory thing for all students, and easily accessible contraception. Kids are going to fuck regardless, and kids are pretty dumb. Refusing to educate them on the basis of outdated and puritanical values is making things worse than they need to be.

I hate the audience's reactions to it. It just makes me sick.

Necessity · 2010-09-16T12:04:34+00:00

It was an online survey. I'm not sure how trustworthy the data is...

2010-09-16T13:25:17+00:00

And boys......?

Newsflash: If STDs and unprotected sex are running rampant among young girls, it means they're running rampant among young men, as well. Well over ninety percent of high school sex is heterosexual (since the base figure is ten percent gay, but most don't come out til after high school and if you read Dan Savage at all, he's had a couple of articles about how gay teens are purposefully having straight sex and even having babies to try to cover up their sexuality).

Ah yes, I remember being a teenager too and survey-bombing every study that came across my desk or computer.

I'd like to hear more about their methodology before drawing any conclusions. The clipped the outliers at least...right?

un_internaute · 2010-09-16T15:23:40+00:00

Come on people look at the source of the information. It may or may not be true but it's still a bunch of fear mongering. We know better.

2010-09-16T10:06:03+00:00

Can anyone find the actual survey questions? I hate articles that report on data, I'd rather just see the damn data (though it's Tyra, so...) Kind of hard to say that things are worse than ever before without actually being able to compare it.

ForeignerWin · 2010-09-16T13:30:48+00:00

I find it funny that people are surprised by this.

2010-09-16T13:50:03+00:00

I too knew a girl who actually wanted to get pregnant at 17. Now she's just had a third kid when she and her husband (who she tricked into getting her pregnant, btw) can't even afford one, and has no parenting skills whatsoever. Honestly, if it was up to me, if I ruled Social Services, those kids would be out of there. No good can come out of stupid parents creating violent, disfunctional citizens for the rest of society to deal with. Maybe it sounds radical, but do we really want people that stupid having children?

2010-09-16T11:57:16+00:00

Soooooo.......nothing new then?

JamminCrumpets · 2010-09-16T14:50:25+00:00

I assume it's the "patriarchy's" fault.

Non-fear-mongering title: "An anonymous survey of more than 10,000 teenage girls and young women reveals business as usual when it comes to sex and drugs."

RafaelloSans · 2010-09-16T13:56:55+00:00

Man, that Bieber kid must be messed up.

2010-09-16T15:48:40+00:00

I need to find me one out of these 10000...

rgskies · 2010-09-17T17:14:38+00:00

Shock: Teenage girls are whores! GASP!!! lmfao...
