Teens who are very naughty tonight are likely to be very naughty years from now, according to a recent research. The study found that teens who start having sex significantly earlier than their peers also show higher rates of delinquency in later years.
The researchers examined data from 7,000 young people, comparing each one's age of sexual debut - first intercourse - to the average age for their school, which ranged from 11.25 years to 17.5 years. Those who had sex at least one year before the school average committed +20% more delinquent acts - such as vandalizing, stealing, or selling drugs - than their school average. Those who debuted later than average had - 50% lower delinquency rates.
Researchers said "we're not finding that sex itself leads to delinquency ... the link between early sex and delinquency probably has to do with the whole social context of the young adolescents' lives".

HI again!
You are good at statistics! Do you want to help us developing our statistics on blogging and source credibility? Can you post this on your web site? We would be very happy!
We are two Norwegian students from the Norwegian School of Management, BI who are writing master thesis about blogging. In order to develop a theory related to blogging, we need to do a qualitative research. Due to this, we would ask you to help us fill out a short survey. It will only take a short time to answer the simple questions in this web survey.
This survey is for research purposes only, and your answer is very important to the accuracy of our research. We are not selling anything, and your personal information is secured and your answers will be grouped anonymously. Click the "Yes, I'll take the Survey" button bellow to begin the survey.
We really appreciate your time and thank you for helping us developing this theory of blogging!
Sincerely
Annicken Hejna and Veronica Isaksen
