In news last year, less than ½ of the American teens aged 15 years old to 19 years old are actually engaged in a sexual activity, but this is quite lower than it was a century back according to a report. Only 44% of the girls and 47% of the boys ages 15-19 years old had sexual activity at least once from 2011-2013 according to a research.
