The Heritage Foundation has a new study out that shows that sexually active teens are more likely to be depressed and attempt suicide.

The significantly lower levels of happiness and higher levels of depression among sexually active teens suggest that sexual activity leads to a decrease in happiness and well-being among many, if not most, teenagers. This conclusion is corroborated by the fact that the majority of sexu�ally active teens express reservations and concerns about their personal sexual activity.

Don't expect the anti-abstinence types to take this sitting down. Any suggestion that many teenagers may not be emotionally prepared for sex -- or that there is anything wrong with it -- is just the ranting of a bunch of moralistic prudes as far as they're concerned.
