Lohman says that means the rate of sex among her low-income sample is only slightly higher among the girls, but almost double among the boys Recent national research has found that 13 percent of girls and 15 percent of boys have had sex by the time they're 16. Boys also had nearly 10 percent higher frequency of intercourse than girls and were also more likely to experience sexual debut (20 percent to 14 percent) between the two years when the first two waves of data were collected. In the study, boys reported their first sexual intercourse at younger ages (averaging 12.48) than girls (13.16). Lohman says she also has data collected in 2006 from the same subjects, who were between 16 and 20 by that time.īoys having sex earlier, more often than girls Interview data for the study was first collected in 1999 on youth between the ages of 10 and 14, and again in 2001. Their paper, titled "A biological analysis of risk and protective factors associated with early sexual intercourse of young adolescents," was posted online in the Children and Youth Services Review and will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal. It analyzes data from the "Welfare, Children and Families: A Three-City Study" - a six-year longitudinal investigation of low-income families living in Boston, Chicago and San Antonio. Tina Jordahl, a former Iowa State HDFS and public policy graduate student who is now a market research specialist with Hospice of Central Iowa, collaborated with Lohman on the study. "Definitely the age is the most shocking thing about this study." "Those people who say that kids don't have sex at that young of age should think again," she said. We know from our follow-up interviews that one boy who reported having sexual intercourse for the first time at age nine had fathered four children by the time he was 18." "A handful of kids reported having sex as early as 8 or 9. Because any teenager who pulls a cool move like that, they deserve to meet someone pretty special."So if 12 years was the average age here, that meant that some kids were starting at 10 or younger," said Lohman, an Iowa State University associate professor of human development and family studies (HDFS). I just hope all of these rejections end as graciously as they did with his friend, and that his friend meets another boys to compose poems for. He will reject people, and they will reject him. I’m sure he will continue to date people throughout his high school career, and I will continue to worry about a million things, breakups and hookups and the delicate and not-so-delicate ways these relationships begin and end. If I were gay I would date him, I like the guy he is my friend.

God Mom, do you think I’m a moron? I don’t care if he is gay. I have raised a good kid.īut you didn’t make him feel bad, you weren’t a jerk about it, you didn’t make a big deal out of it right? I panicked, of course, because this is how I would react when my kid had to reject the feelings of any other kid, but this is somehow more fraught, because teenage boys are assholes, and even though my son is not an asshole, I wanted to make sure he had declined the offer of romance in the right way. He was very flattered and touched by the poem and the footnote at the bottom, where the boy expressed his feelings for my son, and even though my son likes this boy and values his friendship, my son is not gay. He did say that he wouldn’t share it with anyone else and I agree with him, love letters are not to be passed around and shared with people they aren’t meant for. My son asked if I wanted to read the poem and I declined, because it’s personal, and it wasn’t meant for me. And gay kids are still bullied in school, in horrible, heart-wrenching ways, in ways that make me lose sleep at night. And even though it’s not really surprising, his admirer was also a boy.ĪWho wrote a poem.

My eldest son came home from school to inform me that he thought one of his schoolmates liked him, because they slipped a self-authored poem to him in the hallway. Your little baby is growing up and as a parent, you have to accept the fact that one day they will find someone and fall in love and move away from you and you will no longer get to boss them about what shirt to wear with what sweater. It’s always sort of adorable and sad when your kid starts attracting attention from would-be suitors.
