In early adolescence, sex is linked with drug use, delinquency, and school-related problems. Low socioeconomic status, family/parenting issues, peer relationships, academic achievement, and having older siblings who became pregnant as teens or who are sexually active can all affect teens' risk of becoming sexually active at an early age. Studies have found that earlier onset of sexual intercourse was related to living with someone other than one's own biological parents, having a lower level of parental monitoring, and poor communication about sex with mothers.
