Young Teens and Sex

According to NPR's May 22 Morning Edition program, middle school students say sex is already a big part of their lives. 20 percent of teens were reported as sexually active before the age of 15. Although many parents dread talking to young teens about sex they may have a critical role in influencing their children's sexual behavior.
