"Teen Sexual Behavior News is Both Good and Bad". Anonymous Author. AIDS Alert. Atlanta: March 2005. Vol. 20, Iss. 3; pg. 32. <http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=794112371&sid=2&Fmt=2&clientld=35494&RQT=309&VName=PQD>.
This article only gave a summary of the article. I am giving you a summary of a summary then in a sense. This summary basically tells me that he article is about condom use in order to prevent STD's like HIV. The good news would be that there is more condom usage in teenager in this era. But, the bad news is that teens only use teens when they are starting a new relationship instead if all the time, like they should.

"Sex and the Single Teen". Abigail Culter, Ross Douthat, Terrence Henry. The Atlantic Monthly. Boston: March 2005. Vol.295, Iss. 2; Pg.50, 1 pgs. http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=795369801&sid=5&Fmt=3&clientld=35494&RQT=309&Vname=PQD.
This article discusses other polls that were done for teens. It was showing the decrease in sexual activity and the increase in birth control for those who were still having sex. It also showed, based off of studies, that teens between the ages of 15 and 17 were having sex less in a matter of about a decade. High percentages used birth control, which was an increase from the previous data in the `80's. This article has some good statistics that can be used in arguments.

Kantz, Matt. "Abstinence Gets Federal Funding". National Catholic Reporters. Kansas City: Feb 27, 2004. Vol. 40, Iss. 17; pg.9, 1pgs.
This document is about polls that were done to determine what the public thinks about abstinence education. It gave a lot of statistics and percentages. There were two surveys done. The first survey was for parents of teens. Focus on the Family 1,004 parents and found that a very high majority of the parents thought that teens should be talk about sex and marriage better. It even talked about the margin of error in their survey. The second survey was about adults and their beliefs in whether schools should have abstinence classes. They found a lower percentage here. There were no majorities found in the second survey that would promote the classes in school. The second survey was done by another called the Kaiser Family Foundation. The margin of error was higher on this report, but there were more people surveyed in the second one. Overall, the polls show that the majority of parents think teaching about abstinence, love, intimacy, commitment, and marriage is important.

"Teen life Q & A".
In this article, it is a thouroughly researched answer to a very controversial topic for a teenage girl. The question she was wondering about was whether oral sex means that you are not a virgin any more. The author of the article gave a thourough answer which gave an honest opinion, but left it open for the concerned teen to decide for herself. The author gave examples and comparisons like, how can you tell which is purer?; the girl who has oral sex every day or the girl who has sexual intercourse once a week? The author also described their own view on it and personal knowledge. The author discussed how he/she grew up a Protestant Christian and how any sexual act or even lust for it was wrong. They also gave an example from the Bible to support this claim. At the end the author left it up to the teenage girl to make her decisions by herself, by saying that it wasn't his place to tell her what ot do. He said that ultimately it was between her and God. He left it at that.
