  2. Why do teens start having sex at Such an early age?

  3. It is becoming more common for teens to start having sex at an early age, without fully understanding the possible results of these actions. • The APHA did a study and found that the biggest reason teens start having sex is because they think that their peers are doing it also.

  4. Previous research states that “One in three boys ages 15-17 say that they feel [peer] pressure to have sex, often from other male friends.”

  5. 50% Of teen girls in America stated that they had sex at an earlier age, believing that their other girl friends were having sex with their boyfriends as well, or that they were pressured into it by an older male. The APHA study found that the earlier a teen girl became sexually active, the more likely it was that her partner was older.

  6. The Center For Disease Control states that by the age of 20, three-fourths of America’s population has already had sex. • Even if teens aren’t having sex, the illusion that they are seems to persuade many individuals to become sexually active at an early age.

  7. Many teens do not even think twice about what they are doing when they make the decision to have unprotected sex!
