Good news: sex may not be trending
There is some good news for parents who aren’t ready for their babies to grow up: it appears that teens are having slightly less sex than they were four or five years ago. Research has also found that the large majority of teens have their first sexual encounter with a steady boyfriend or girlfriend (rather than someone new), and are using birth control. Translation: your teen is most likely having sex with someone who cares about her, and is being safe. * That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still talk to her about it. *
