Amongst my immediate peers I am part of 10% who have managed to forge a relationship for themselves and get married (and for all of us it involved beings "rebelllious").
I don't think young people are given enough credit to be able to work things out for themselves. If they are brought up properly and able to communicate openly with parents about "pregnancy and emotional issues" rather than have it all swept under the rug with a "if make eye contact with the opposite sex you will get pregnant and die" attitude, maybe that would be better than all the unhealthy practices that are going on.

Well, now you sound bitter for your own reasons.
But, where do you draw the line? Two teens alone?
