Probably the most unpopular post ever coming:
A lot of kids in our area read this book:
Amazon.com: I Kissed Dating Goodbye: Joshua Harris: Books and have decided to let dating go until they've gotten school done. They have had an incredibly fun time in the high school years - lots of parties, groups of kids doing things together, doing projects together, etc. and with *no* drama. Heaven for a parent.
Seriously, I think their high school years have been a lot happier than mine, and I was a pretty popular, active teen.
