[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think it is sex education that makes them more inclined to indulge in unprotected sexual activity....these days you can see how many things have a sexual angle to sell them.......magazines aimed at teens almost promote sexual relations.......girls are made to feel they are 'weird' if they are not sexually active........and I'm sure there is a lot of pressure from peers(or maybe it is perceived as pressure...you know the kind of thing.....everyone is doing it, so why shouldn't I ?)
Children are not children for as long, because they are pushed to grow up....and another factor is that physically, girls mature much more quickly these days.

I'm not sure how many girls are taught to respect themselves...or perhaps that is an old fashioned idea......these days they are indoctrinated with the idea that they are entitled to a sex life.....and that may be true, but only if they can be responsible about the consequences......these include pregnancy, and STI's.
