II. Remember, You're Not Alone

Facts:

• The majority of high school students haven't had sex, not even once.

• Of those who have had sex, many have only had it once.

• Two out of three high school students aren't sexually active; that is, they haven't had sex at all over the past three months.

Of 15-year-old girls:

• Over 70% have never had sex, not even once.

• 80% (8 out of every 10) have never had voluntary sex.
