I found this comment on a popular social networking site in response to a question asked by an older reader regarding, "Why are young teens and preteens having sex so early now?" It was a sincere question that many adults have asked. The anonimity afforded by this particular site, allowed a lot of thoughtful and honest answers straight from the youngsters' heads.
The following is typical, and seems to be a very astute answer. I cut and pasted it in its original form to maintian the autheticiy of the reply. Here it is:

Us teens get pressured..we also tend to think we are in love, so because we found thatt person..we want to do it. and since masterbation feels good we think sex is too...and maybe even cuzz when teens watch porn they want to be there like the pornstars...and then it doesnt help that are favorite singers sing about sex...and actors dress like sl0ts
