"18.7 percent of boys report having intercourse for the first time before age 13; 5.8 percent of girls say they have" Those 3.4 girls sure do get around... don't they?

actually what teens really do is..... "spread knowledge through ya projects, smoke blunts, throw weight, bust shots, attend wakes, baby make, pay rent, stay bent,drink Red Label, duck from jakes, they flagrant, keep the gear pressed flip thoughts to your whips on the good ship Jesus before Kimet was called Egypt," son! Oppps that's actually what the Wu Tang Clan does, especially the RZA!

@Margaret: I know that..I just thought it was funny. Can I pilfer your next time I see the doctor, or would that be considered plagarism?

@sparky: It's a "health" survey, I thought I'd throw it in.

The sports team statistic seems oddly out of place with the rest of the stats.

Most studies of teens (I do this kind of work) suggest that teen boys tend to exaggerate their sexual experience on surveys. I know this might come as a surprise to some of you. But there it is. Shocking, but true. No studies I'm aware of to date have attempted to validate their responses.

I dig the American Apparel ads next to the teens and sex article. Fitting, in a twisted way.
