A parent doesn't want to think about their little schoolboy having sex. This is not possible. They are too young at this age. We all want to think that. Do middle schoolers really have sex? If so, what should we (parents, teachers, etc.) do about it? The media talks about tweens, teens and sex, but how close is that to the truth? We heard about rainbow parties where girls wore different colored lipsticks and took turns looking after a boy until they left rainbow rings sky with their lipstick (Young, 2006). Although this may have happened, it is not a common occurrence. Linda Perlstein, who spent a year taking classes at a Maryland college, says the media is sensationalizing. She says that although it is likely that your child is not having sex, it is very likely that he or she will hear a lot about it at lunch and throughout the school day (Shreve, 2005). That being said, sexual intercourse among young people is initiated earlier. Around this time, middle school students began to become aware of their sexual feelings and some students began to act on these feelings. From 1960 to 1991, the fertility rate for girls aged 10 to 14 increased from 0.8 to 1.4 (Lederman & Mian, 2003). It almost doubled and was even higher in some places. A more recent national study showed that twelve to fifteen percent of seventh graders report having had a sexual experience (De Rosa, et al., 2010). Improper use of contraceptives is believed to be the main cause of both problems. A study by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Centers for Disease Control noted that four percent of thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds engage in oral sex (Young, 2006).
