If I were gonna bet on it.. the first explanation I would gravitate towards would be that these teens might have been the children of single teenage mothers/fathers themselves.. and lived through the hardship of that situation first hand.
- kbenson 11y agoOn the one hand, I can definitely see that happening. On the other, is the observed phenomenon of children following in their parents' (parent's?) footsteps whether they mean to or not (perhaps because outcomes are commonly the emergent result of different behavioral and attitude markers that are harder to shake). I don't know which of those influences wins out more often, but unfortunately (for disadvantaged children) I suspect it's the latter.

- jbclements 11y agoInteresting. Love to see actual analysis of this.

When you stay at home, you get less sex. On the whole, teens are replacing sex with more computer time.
