My daughter is in 5th grade and she is not sexually active. She has never even held hands with a boy unless you count her 9 year old brother. They still hold hands in the store, walking down the street etc. She has also never had a “boyfriend”.

Where are you located? I should have specified that to MY knowledge based on 20+ years of being a teacher in the 4th largest school district in the nation. Read my about page and you'll get a better idea of where I'm coming from. I don't mean to cast aspersions on anybody's child, least of all any freeper and especially brothers and sisters in Christ. However we do live in a fallen world... As you seem to recognize based on your screen name...

15 years ago when I was teaching in a middle school out in the 'burbs, instead of deep in the inner city where I am now and have been for 12 years, we had a report by a school bus driver of two students engaging in coitus out by the portable classrooms. They were hidden from direct view of the school by the portables but not at 90 degrees from the road where the school bus stopped. We teachers dashed out and sure enough, two SIXTH graders going hot and heavy (all the way) and without protection to boot! We wound up having the driver arrested, btw. Why? He'd watched awhile before reporting the activity. That was 15 years ago. Today in my inner city high school, it is not unusual to catch kids (especially hormone driven 9th graders) having sex around the grounds. Three of my own students have given birth so far this school year. That's about par for the course each year I've been there. So far.
