Well, what's your conclusion about all this anyway? It seems to me (no surprise here) that if more 17-19 year olds are engaging in healthy sexual activity with each other, that's a good thing. Healthy sex is good, right? Are you just bringing up the increased number of incidents with no view of it? Or are you saying their should be better education about the STD issues involved, so the activity can be more healthy? Or are you saying that their should be increased discussion of the emotional ramifications of the activity, to make it more emotionally healthy? If your observation is accurate (more kids are sexually active than before), so?

So you ignored the NY Times and Washinton Post stories,. Have you every been to NY City and Washington. DC? I believe the problem is overstated. These same stories could have been published in the 1980s, the 1960s, the 1940s etc. I am unclear why this country is so obsessed with sex among the young. Is it because adults are not getting it? I don't know. What I can say is talk your kids........let them know the scoop about STD, about contraception, about birth control etc and tell them you are available to talk any time they need. I think they will be fine.
