Here’s some good news (unless you’re a teen, I guess…)
WASHINGTON — Fewer high school students are having sex these days, and more are using condoms. The teen birth rate has hit a record low.
More young people are finishing high school, too, and more little kids are being read to, according to the latest government snapshot on the well-being of the nation’s children. It’s good news on a number of key wellness indicators, experts said of the report being released Friday.
"The implications for the population are quite positive in terms of their health and their well-being," said Edward Sondik, director of the National Center for Health Statistics. "The lower figure on teens having sex means the risk of sexually transmitted diseases is lower."
In 2005, 47 percent of high school students — 6.7 million — reported having had sexual intercourse, down from 54 percent in 1991. The rate of those who reported having had sex has remained the same since 2003.
Of those who had sex during a three-month period in 2005, 63 percent — about 9 million — used condoms. That’s up from 46 percent in 1991.
I must say, it’s good to hear kids are being smarter about this stuff – especially the girls. I knew a few girls who got pregnant in high school, and life has not been easy for them. It really all comes down to the parent’s educating their kids, at least in my opinion.

Good to hear. Earth is getting overpopulated way to fast. I believe birthrates are low here in the Netherlands also, although lately I have met quite some young ppl (20~23) with kids
