Not so new . . .

In 1970 I was a day camp counselor and we were warned to watch for sexual behavior among our campers who went up to kids who had just completed 6th grade. We laughed at that. The camp director told us not to laugh . . . there had been several pregnancies in the 6th grade at a local school that year and they wanted to prevent that happening at camp. (Apparently, the kids were using saran wrap as condoms . . . didn’t work so well.)

As a recent high school graduate who had not even contemplated having sex at that point, I was shocked!! (as were most of my counselor colleagues)
