<p>Of course you are knowing you are wrong. You are hilarious.</p>
<p>MY FACTS are not 6-10 years old.</p>
<p>I’m surprised so many of them haven’t smoked weed.</p>

<p>Wow these people are such humongous losers for not having sex. Maybe they would be cooler if they joined the rest of the 1 in 6 individuals who have genital herpes.</p>
<p>I mean, they could at LEAST be doing some kind of drug. They could at least start binge drinking and blacking out, because hey, you’ve only got 4 years for it to be cool. After that it’s called alcoholism.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>haha I love your sarcasm.</p>
<p>I had to laugh at “sex, drugs, and consulting.” </p>
<p>Also, the mean GPA of 3.64 was surprisingly high (even if the survey did suffer from self-selection bias).</p>
<p>I never take those types of statistics too seriously, I mean not every woman is going to answer a survey like that completely honestly and may not admit to multiple partners.</p>
<p>Also, if guys at your uni are being affected by erectile dysfunction I found this hilarious info-graphic called Flaccid Truth Erectile Dysfunction here:</p>
<p>[Dr</a> Fox - The Flaccid Truth About Erectile Dysfunction](<a href=“http://www.doctorfox.co.uk/flaccid-truth-erectile-dysfunction.html]Dr”>Dr Fox online clinic - The Flaccid Truth About Erectile Dysfunction - Dr Fox)
.
It is a really informative but funny way in explaining the multiple ways that we can get erectile dysfunction with fitness and nerves being some of them</p>
<p>The illustrations did make me chuckle. Hope this helps!</p>

Not really. Various websites claim that Harvard had a mean GPA of 3.48 in 2004. I couldn’t find any more recent numbers, but it stands to reason that the mean GPA has only gone up…</p>
<p>70% of all teens have sex in the USA?</p>
<p>Am I the only one who finds this to be sad that so many teenagers ignore the warning of unplanned pregnancies and STDs to at least some extent?</p>
<p>I hope I’m not the only one who actually likes being a virgin since it means pregnancies can’t happen and STDs are also less likely.</p>

<p>Individuals who use condoms are ignoring no warnings at all.</p>
<p>There’s a difference between ignoring a warning and making a conscious decision to take the risk. The same way that you are consenting to the risk of a traffic accident every time you enter a car. </p>
<p>By the way, we are statistically more likely to die in a car accident than to be involved in a teenage pregnancy.</p>
<p>I just stumbled on this thread xD Okay b@r!um. Say that to the 30+ girls in my CLASS who are all pregnant. And my best friend who just had a baby two months ago. Frankly, putting off sex is a smart way to go. Unless you’re very, VERY well protected (birth control 5 months MINIMUM, condoms, etc.), I don’t think sex is a wise option. I’m 17, turning 18 in about two weeks and I have never had sex. I don’t see how that’s something to be ashamed about. Personally, I wouldn’t judge anybody that has. </p>
<p>I worked maternity/STD’s for about 2 1/2 years. It’s a little scary but you should see how many teens come in not knowing the facts and then they get pregnant. Tons of 17-20 year olds come in freaking out about an STD or suspected pregnancy. If you’re going to do the dirty, be smart about it.</p>
<p>^…where are you from?</p>
<p>But it isn’t typical to have 30+ pregnant girls in a single high school class. This can certainly vary by area and the availability of affordable birth control options, but on average, the number is much, much smaller. I had maybe one, two girls tops graduate either pregnant or with a child already born in my class. And that was fairly unheard of for my area at the time (roughly 6 years ago).</p>
<p>Yes, it is sad how uninformed many teens are, but for those who choose to educate themselves and take safety precautions (such as birth control and condoms), there is no shame in engaging in sexual activity IF they are emotionally ready and not being coerced. </p>
<p>Also, of the several different birth control pills I’ve tried over the years, I’ve generally been told after the 7th day of my first pack (if I had stopped taking it for a while), I was protected. Five months minimum would be no safer than taking the pill for one month - as long as you’re taking it at the same time every day. Many girls don’t realize that lower estrogen pills need to be taken more strictly on the hour each day. But any doctor or Planned Parenthood nurse should be explaining this completely. </p>
<p>In the end, it is a personal choice. Those who choose to wait should not look down on those who don’t, and vice versa. But we should all agree that education and awareness is critical to making such personal decisions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, but that’s nice of you to say anyway.</p>
<p>isn’t sex ed a strong emphasis at secondary public schools? we’ve all had to take that stupidass class where we put the condom over a banana (except me due to religious reasons :)). So what’s the problem? some kids just have to learn the hard way</p>
<p>or they need better parents, which is a domestic issue</p>
<p>No we haven’t. Only 65% of adolescents have any kind of sex ed.</p>
<p>“sex ed,” like everything in public middle/high school, is a farce. Usually they only try to scare you into abstinence, refusing to acknowledge that the average person loses their virginity by what 15? Parents, teachers, preachers, everyone refuses to accept this and that leads to the unwanted pregnancies. Blaming the kid, when the adults are so inept and willfully blind, is pointless. That’s not going to lead to fewer pregnancies. Nobody wins when a 15-year-old has to “learn the hard way,” drop out and go on welfare.</p>
<p>65%? I can see how that might be a problem… I thought it was standard practice</p>
<p>Over 70% of 19-year-olds have had sex already? Oh great, one more thing to worry about…</p>
<p>We have exactly 37 pregnant girls in my high school class. That’s not even accounting for the ones that are already mothers. It’s insane. </p>
<p>And actually, that is false. Generally, you want to be on birth control for a decent five months before sexual activity. That’s what all the OB/GYN’s around here are recommending at least. </p>
<p>Honestly, it’s sad how many teens don’t know the facts. We don’t have a Planned Parenthood in my area (it got shut down five years ago) and I live in a primarily Catholic area (go figure!). The statistic that 70% of teens have already had sex does ring true in many ways for my area I suppose. It’s a bit scary how high that number is though. I don’t mean to come off in a negative way, but I think it’s too risky to have sex young. It can be damaging later on if you’re especially impressionable.</p>
