Not really relevant to the study, which didn't pretend to represent all American teens.

By age 15, only 13% of never-married teens have ever had sex.

Good.

•Most young people have sex for the first time at about age 17, but they do not marry until their middle or late 20s. This means that young adults are at risk of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for nearly a decade.[2]

It would be good to reduce that time on average.

•Teens are waiting longer to have sex than they did in the past.

More good news.
