In 1999, the last year for which records are available, the birthrate among teens aged fifteen to nineteen dropped to a record low of 49.6 births per 1,000. The 1999 teen birthrate is the lowest it has been since the National Center for Health Statistics began keeping records in 1940. The rate, which declined every year during the 1990s, fell 3 percent in 1999 and has fallen 20 percent since 1991. The 20-percent decrease has effectively erased the 24-percent increase in teen births from 1986 (50.2 per 1,000) to 1991, when teen births were 62.1 per 1,000. Many sex researchers and commentators hail the declining teen birthrate as an indication of teens’ changing values and beliefs about pre- marital sex. They believe “abstinence-only” sex education programs— classes in which students are taught only about the benefits of abstinence with no mention of birth control or “safe sex”—are having an effect on teen sexual behaviors. “More teens are choosing abstinence,” contends Janet Parshall of the Family Research Council, an organization that pro- motes the traditional family. She asserts that tens of thousands of teens have pledged to remain virgins until marriage in abstinence programs such as True Love Waits. A survey conducted for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (NCPTP) seems to support her contention that more teens are deciding to remain abstinent. According to the 2000 sur- vey, 58 percent of teenagers believe high-school teens should not engage in sexual activity, even if precautions are taken against pregnancy or sex- ually transmitted diseases (STDs). An overwhelming majority—93 per- cent—said they believe society should tell teens to remain abstinent at least until they graduate from high school. The survey also found that half of the teens said that fear of pregnancy or STDs is the main reason they are abstinent. In addition, the vast majority of teens—87 percent— do not think it is embarrassing to admit that they are virgins. Perhaps due in part to the message emphasizing abstinence, fewer teens are having sex. According to the NCPTP, the number of male teens who have had sex declined from 61 percent in 1990 to 49 percent in 1997. The number of teen girls who have had sex has fluctuated: 48 percent in 1990, up to 52 percent in 1995, and back down again to 48 per- cent in 1997. Abstinence-only programs frequently stress the consequences of pre- marital sex: pregnancy and STDs, including HIV/AIDS. Donna E. Shalala, secretary of Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton, be- lieves that a fear of contracting AIDS has persuaded many teens to post- pone sexual activity. “We all believe AIDS has scared teenagers,” she says. Teens have a right to be scared: They have the fastest-increasing rate of HIV infection in the United States. Approximately 25 percent of the 40,000 new HIV infections reported annually occur among youth aged 7 AI Teen Sex INT 2/12/04 7:52 AM Page 8 8 At Issue thirteen to twenty-one. Another 3 million teens aged thirteen to nineteen contract new STD infections each year. Others contend that the falling birthrate is due to increased use of birth control by teens. They assert that partial credit for the increase in contraceptive use among teens can be given to school programs that dis- tribute free condoms to students who request them. Studies comparing sexually active students in schools that provide condoms with schools that do not found that students were significantly more likely to use con- doms during intercourse if they could get them at school. A few studies and anecdotal evidence suggest to sex researchers that another reason the birthrate among teens is dropping is the increasing prevalence of oral sex as a substitute for intercourse. A 1999 survey by Planned Parenthood reported that 10 percent of teens who described themselves as virgins had had oral sex, some in their early teens. Other researchers contend that as many as one-third of middle-school girls are performing oral sex on boys. (Most experts agree that oral sex is not re- ciprocal—it is almost always boys who are the recipients.) However, re- searchers find it difficult to accurately determine whether the prevalence of oral sex is indeed increasing as many surveys about teen sexual behav- ior—past and present—concentrate solely on vaginal intercourse. Some experts theorize that the increase in oral sex—if, indeed, there is one—is because many teens do not consider oral sex to be “sex.” Ac- cording to Peter Sheras, professor of adolescent development at the Uni- versity of Virginia, oral sex “might mean what a French kiss meant to us when we were kids.” Some teens even believe they are practicing absti- nence if they engage in oral sex instead of sexual intercourse. Many adults are also not clear on whether oral sex is a form of abstinence. A 1999 sur- vey even found that one-third of health educators believed that oral sex was abstinent behavior. President Bill Clinton, when answering questions regarding his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, conveyed a similar attitude when he stated that they had not had “sexual relations” since they had engaged in oral sex. Many parents and sex educators omit discussions about oral sex when telling teens about sex, and at least some experts believe this is a mistake. Linda Alexander, president of the American Social Health Association, be- lieves that society has “drilled the kids on the dangers of pregnancy” but has not “talked as much about activities that don’t result in pregnancy,” such as oral sex.

  • SKY FERREIRA Sky Ferreira Ist Das Aktuelle Internationale It-Girl In
    SKY FERREIRA Sky Ferreira ist das aktuelle internationale It-Girl in Musik und Mode. Bekannt für ihre lange, blonde Mähne, begann die Karriere der in Los Angeles geborenen Sky auf MySpace. Die Pop-Sensation hatte seit ihrer Jugend Liedertexte zu Papier gebracht und bis dahin bereits ungefähr 300 Songs geschrieben. Skys bevorstehendes Debüt bei Capitol Records lässt sich gut an und soll eine Collection von elektronischem Pop gemischt mit Songs im Blondie-Stil werden, die klangvolle Melodien mit einer sparsamen, digitalisierten Produktion von Hitmakers verbinden. Jon Brion and Ariel Rechtshaid. Ihre aktuelle EP Ghost kam im Herbst 2012 heraus. Skys Single, “Red Lips”, geschrieben gemeinsam mit Shirley Manson, wurde von einem emotionsgeladenen Musikvideo begleitet, das von Terry Richardson gemacht wurde. Sky gab kürzlich ihr TV-Debüt in Late Night bei Jimmy Fallon, wo sie ihre aktuelle Single “Everything is Embarassing” hören ließ. “Everything is Embarassing” wurde vom New York Magazine zum Song des Jahres 2012 gewählt. Sky wird im Frühjahr 2013 zu einer Tournee aufbrechen, die sie in 19 Städte führen soll. In den Texten folgt Ferreira der uralten Weisheit der Geschichtenerzähler: Schreibe über das, was du kennst. “Ich will Geschichten über Jugend und Sehnsucht erzählen,” sagt sie. “Nicht über Liebe, denn ich habe sie bis jetzt noch nicht erlebt.” Songs wie “17” (über heimliches Weggehen und Rumhängen) und “Shiny Toy” (über Obsessionen) sind reife, geschickt gemachte Erzählungen über das rasche Erwachsenwerden in der „City of Angels“. Ferreira hofft, dass ihre Musik eine Aufmunterung für alle sein kann, die durch dieses schwierige Alter gehen. “Für alle bizarren Typen wie mich, die keine Freunde hatten? Ich möchte, dass die Songs ihre Freunde sind, wie die Songs anderer meine Freunde waren," sagt sie.
