US teens are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and smoking fewer cigarettes than those who grew up in the 1990s, a study released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found. They are also more likely to use condoms when they do have sex, wear a seat belt and avoid getting into a car with a driver who's been drinking, the national study of youth risk behavior found.

Uh oh, looks like the Libertarian Party's growth potential is drying up.

PING FYI

[Always Right]

A sad day for liberals.

Frank Sinatra used to say that he felt sorry for people who didn’t drink, because when they woke up, that was going to be the best they felt all day.

In the meantime, kids, eat lunch safely, use condiments!

[Mogollon]

Bush’s fault.

“US teens are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and smoking fewer cigarettes..”

Kind of hard to do while playing computer games.

Didn’t see a mention of prescription drugs in the survey. I’d bet a dollar that’s taking up some slack.

Summer vacation just started. Let the upswing begin.

"US teens are having less sex, .............."

Spending all their time on the Internet watching porn.

Or it could mean that teens today are just more honest. In the past, how many teens lied on these surveys just to appear cool?

I find it hysterical when any govt agency purports to know how many teens/people are having sex, doing drugs, etc.

They have no clue.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Don’t believe it for a second. The little a-holes are up to SOMETHING.

[Retired Greyhound]

You see, the liberals condom policy is working wonders!

[right turn at the light]

you have the post of the week, lol

Or perhaps the other way around.

Given how intrusive government has become in its zeal to deny teenagers the 'rites of passage' that their older siblings and parents took for granted, and to turn them into criminals, it wouldn't be surprising that they're lying more than ever to avoid raising suspicions.

“US teens are having less sex,..”

So, who are the teachers doing?

[Doomonyou]

Obama will do his best to “Change” that.

[Intimidator]

Oh wonderful a nice teen/youth bashing thread for all the old fogies. Yes I’m an old fart myself and I’ve seen it all my life, every new generation gets bashed by the older generation, geez, rolls eyes.

[weegee]

They are probably having more sex online than they were in the early 1990s too.

[weegee]

What are the teachers doing now?

3-10 years hard time.
