Sex Drugs and Texting 287

statesman writes "The Associated Press reports that teens who text frequently are three and a half times more likely to have sex. A survey of 4,200 public high school students in the Cleveland area found that one in five students sent more than 120 text messages a day or spent more than 3 hours a day on Facebook. Students in this group were much more likely to have sex. Alcohol and drug use also correlate with frequent texting and heavy Facebook use."

Comment BSA needs to change (Score 1) 973

I was a boy scout all the up until 17, when I found out Atheists aren't welcome. I was really bugged by this, and I was working at a scout camp before I just gave up and resigned. I didn't feel like I was in place, despite being a scout since whatever the hell is the minimum age for cub scouts. I just realized that what I was doing was wrong, and even though I might have had the best summer of my life up there teaching kids about earth sciences, I just couldn't stay there in a place where gays and atheists aren't welcome or accepted as "normal" people. I too was old to just not bring it up, or that it doesn't matter, but after a few nights of sitting around singing old bible folk songs, I just couldn't stay. I really hope that the BSA changes their policies, especially since they are a organization that takes federal funding and still openly discriminates. I would hope that no one helps such an organization until things change.
