As a popular .JL poster puts it: "He's got your eyes and your nose and the next 1 8 years of your life." Each year, more than 1 in 10 of the girls aged 15 to 19 become pregnant in Forsyth County. In our survey of 1 ,269 youths, we found that many consider sex neces sary to fit in with the crowd. There may be no religion in America that promotes extramarital sex, but sexual promiscuity is presented daily as acceptable through popular music, television, videos and films. Not surprisingly, sexually active teens don't believe there's anything wrong with sex before marriage either. Teens who don't have sex, especially girls, disagree.
