Young People Having More Unprotected Sex, Know Less About Contraception: Who Is to Blame?

a single person is surely more mature as she ages. But as a group, everybody mature differently

For example, I had to explain to my ex mother in law how worked a pregnancy test, and why "Pulling out" is a stupid method after she had 2 accidental kids already

This week, I was told by a 42 yo that "I still have to learn and grow" cause I believed his wife had the right to know he was screwing around so she can say yes or no as if she wants to take stds risks

First, being told that not respecting people is what you learn to do by aging is really stupid

Second, the guy told me "hey stupid I wear condoms"
Yep, a 42 yo thought that condoms are 100% effective -____-

(He was trying to have me, a 22 yo, as his mistress, if you are asking yourself why I'd come across that guy)

And those people reproduce, their kids don't get the proper education. get kids as teenagers, stds, and have stupid kids themselves

Teens get in more car accidents, because when they go at a higher speed, they have less experience to control the car if something happen.

And sometimes, younger people get responsible for things they didn't do. Last winter, I had an accident. It was someone's else fault, I have witnesses, but I didn't hit him (I tried to control the car but failed) but another car. He fleed the scene and didn't even paid a dime for it

Maybe he was able to do the dangerous thing he tried. I wasn't and what he tried was illegal. Cost me a car. and my insurances are now higher and for the next 6 years

"For example, I had to explain to my ex mother in law how worked a pregnancy test..."

being older doesn't make a dumb or ignorant person smart, but it does tend to mean people make decisions that consider the long term cost and benefits more, and that are less impulsive (using the information they do have). This is especially important for teens, because it is typically the dumber (low end of average, not mentally impaired) ones who do have sex young to begin with. 70-90 IQ has the lowest amount of virginity in high school, from there on percentage of high school virginity becomes higher continuously as IQs get higher.

"Teens get in more car accidents, because when they go at a higher speed they have less experience to control the car if something happen. "
The higher speed because of poor judgement and risk taking, which also carries over to sexual behavior. You will also find teens drive more dangerously with peers in the car unlike other drivers. It is not rational decision making that causes teens to speed more than adults, despite having less experience driving. That is why if you are at the ski slopes, it is almost always the teens who get on hills far pass their experience levels.


"And sometimes, younger people get responsible for things they didn't do."
true, but this is far less likely with fatal accidents since they get much better investigation and oversight because of the potential for a major (homicide/wrongful death/manslaughter/negligence, etc) trial. Still, teens are significantly more likely to cause fatal accidents.

My friend, in her university studies, was told that at teenage, you have to pass through the "needs" to get to "rational"

If you don't do it as a teen (12 to 20, depending on who), you'll never do it

So you're doom to repeat your mistakes over and over. My ex mother in law was one example

As of your QI stuff, at what age was that measure taken ? Being a 42 yo virgin isn't meaning you're more intelligent

Waiting to be 15-16 and protected instead of 12 is

Plus, in high school, intelligent people tend to be bullied and not popular... It's not a choice to be a virgin, in that situation

*********
I wasn't refering to speed higher than limit, but accidents in roads where the speed is higher

For example, my car accident was on a road at 90 km/h. We were on ice so I was at 70ish. Even if I was lower than a limit, I didn't have the experience to react correctly to his, and he was in fault. but I didn't hit him, so he got away with it...

My father would have had handle it correctly, and maybe at the 90km/h limit

I don't have much experience, only tried to have my permit at 20... So I drive according to my lack of experience. But others drivers, they only use their and the fact that they have a big pick up (majority in my area) to do whatever they want.
One I was forced to push him in the opposite direction line because else I would have gotten alone and responsible in the snow on the side. I had te priority to get back on my line but he decided he was too important and I shall let him pass even if my line was finishing. Fortunately for him, there was no cars coming from the opposite direction

Even if I do everything legal, it's easy to be account responsible if you don't act correctly to their illegal stuff

And with 4 points allowed on my permit, and 15 on people with 3 years on the road, I can tell you teens don't act too stupid

The worse would be people in their 20s. lack of maturity, not much experience, and a big permit

"As of your QI stuff, at what age was that measure taken ? Being a 42 yo virgin isn't meaning you're more intelligent"

No, it was high school students. The self-control, the abilty to delay gratification, and intelligence are linked, so this was not surprising.

That undoubtedly is part of the explanation for the highest IQs. 132 is as far from average as average is from mentally impaired. But that doesn't explain the lower IQs. Being stupid and in remedial classes (or spending all your time studying to just keep up with the class) isn't cool either. Also regular intelligence and emotional intelligence go hand in hand until you get much higher, so the book-dumb people aren't as likely to be especially socially skilled either. So if that was the main explanation, then kids with average intelligence would have the most sex. But it is in fact the least smart (70-90 IQ) "regular" students who are most likely to have sex.


"I wasn't refering to speed higher than limit,"
whether you were or not, it is true. But fine, there is a lot of confounding factors with crashes. But how do you explain teens being the least likely group to wear their seat-belts while driving. Putting minor comfort above safety: poor judgement.


"And with 4 points allowed on my permit, and 15 on people with 3 years on the road, I can tell you teens don't act too stupid"
Maybe teens mature faster in your area. When I was 16-18 plenty of my distant friends would use their cars for street racing against other teens. Two got arrested and lost their licenses (at separate times). Another, person from my class hit a man motorcycle when he was driving a truck while high (testing positive for marijuana and cocaine), killing the man, a father of two. Two of my sister's friends were killed when one was changing her shirt while driving. And its not like I went to a big high school. True, most teens are not this dangerous (I never got in a crash and never got a ticket when I was a teen). But more often than not, of the dangerous drivers who do stupid things for the sake of doing them or showing off are teens.

Also, few of the stupid risk-taking related crashes are caused by females in the first place, so this isn't really talking so much about you as your male compatriots anyway.
