When I was in High School, everyone seemed to blame premarital sex on drinking and drugs. Now they're trying to turn it the other way around? Am i the only one who is confused?
My question is this - were the people who did this study ever teenagers, or did they spring from their mothers fully formed at age 35? Good god. Listen to this stupidity:

Teenagers who reported that at least half of their friends were sexually active were 31 times likelier to get drunk, 51/2 times likelier to smoke and 221/2 times likelier to have tried marijuana, according to the study, released by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
"It's a clear message for parents," said Joseph A. Califano Jr., the center's chairman and president. "The thunder of teen sexual activity and dating behavior may signal the lightning of substance abuse." |
Ugh. I really hope no federal funding went into this thing.
