I don't get it -- aren't there any young girls who don't want to get pregnant?! I've always been very careful about birth control because I DIDN'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT, EVER. I'm not sure if these kids are ignorant, don't care or actually want to get knocked up -- but they're certainly being stupid.

A lot of it has to do with self esteem with the younger kids. If lots of oral sex is happening, I'd be willing to bet money that it's almost always girls performing oral sex on boys. The only girls who go around doing that without getting anything in return, ever, are ones who are sorely lacking in the self esteem department. I think that's the root of the problem -- if we could get these kids to actually have a better opinion of themselves, they'd spend less time having oral sex parties and more time doing something constructive that will actually benefit them as they get older. It sounds like the kids who are very sexually active are concerned with fitting in -- which is really sad. Don't parents ever teach kids that there are more important things in life? At this point, I think that even sex education isn't the answer -- it goes much deeper than that.
