What influences teen promiscuity?

Personally I think the break down in knowledge is one of the leading factors. In high school a girlfriend of mine told me that her cousin told her that you could not get pregnant if he "hit it from the back", mind you the cousin was pregnant. And then there were the arguments in Health class about if semen and sperm were the same thing(they are not). But the factors are still the same. But with some minor differences. Celeb kids have babies(brittany spears little sister). Things have not changes since Happy Days, just the way we approach things. But kids see shows like 16 ane pregnant and think they too will earn some cash and they are lost when it doesn't happen. We need to get a grip(as parents and a society) and start shouldering the blame for our kids rather than blaming it on something else. YOu can't frown on teen pregancy and put up shows that promote it.

Hi sender:; well I think that there are external influences that make that teen prmoscuity is being worst nowadays. However influence from their parents is the main responsability of this situation. I think that new generations have focused on their rights and not on the responsabilities that they have when they take decisions on their private life. ALVARO

Their hormones.

Lack of supervision by their parents...not watching what tv and movies they watch....leaving them alone too much....and giving them internet options even on their telephones.
