More Adolescents Abstaining from SexOctober 15, 2001 A report from the CDC entitled "The Cautious Generation?" indicates that more high school students are graduating as virgins now than did a decade ago. Half of the teens surveyed for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy's 2000 report said the main reason not to have sex is the fear of pregnancy and STDs. Eighty-seven percent of those who took part in "The Cautious Generation?" surveys said they don't think it is embarrassing for teens to admit they are virgins. According to the latest data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, teen pregnancy rates declined to a record low in 1997.
