What will be an ideal response?
According to a report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005, 45% of high school females and 48% of high school males had sexual intercourse. In this same report, predictors of early sexual activity were early pubertal development, a history of sexual abuse, poverty, lack of attentive and nurturing parents, cultural and family patterns of early sexual experience, lack of school or career goals, substance abuse, and poor school performance. These predictors of early sexual activity are also predictors of teen pregnancy.
