I know the sexual history of 1/2 of the kids in her grade - she tells me all. We live in an urban, affluent, upper-middle class area. So this may surprise you. Some of the 16-year old girls already had multiple sex partners, quite a few of them 5 - 8 sexual partners and I'm talking intercourse, oral sex apparently doesn't count into that. Some of these girls don't even date the boys...it's that casual.
That's not the least bit surprising. I'm in my 40's and that behavior was common when I was in high school.
I tell my friends with teenagers now to assume they know at least as much as you do, most likely more, and are behaving as independent adults when it comes to sex.
With access to information and explicit web sites, there is NOTHING kids don't know today. We would be naive to think otherwise...
