I know that in my small-town, middle-of-nowhere not particularly wealthy hometown kids lost their virginity as early as age 11. There literally was nothing to do but have sex or bowl - needless to say, being raised by part-Lutheran, part-Assembly of God parents, I had a perfect bowling score, and I am not kidding. <br /><br />I can certainly see how "keeping the kids busy" is working out for the kids I work with. Works for some, not so much for others. <br /><br />--N HowellsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
