Few Parents Think Teens Are Having Sex

CBS News reports:
They may be growing up in a world vastly different from previous generations, but parents of children between the ages of 9 and 17 have a lot of confidence in their kids.

Most American parents say their children are a healthy weight, have a good understanding of the value of a dollar, help out with chores at home, and shun sex at an early age and drug use.

Only a small number of parents, 22 percent, say they think their teenagers have become sexually active, with 75 percent saying their kids have put off amorous behavior.

You've got to love the comment about the weight.
