At-Risk Teen Girls More Likely To Engage in Casual Risky Sex

Troubled teenage girls usually believe that casual sex is a normal part of teen life, a new study at Florida Atlantic University discovered.

Professor Josie Weiss interviewed twenty girls ages 14 to 18 years in a program for juvenile offenders. All the girls said they and all their friends are sexually active. Many had unprotected sex. They told researchers that movies, television and music make them believe that sex is commonplace for teens.

Professor Weiss believes that her findings hold for other high-risk teens in other communities. She will present this study this month at the International Nursing Research Congress in Austria.
