Hey check out this article from USA Today, talking about teen sex practices.

http://yourlife.usatoday.com/parenting-family/teen-ya/story/2011-10-12/Teens-using-condoms-more-often-but-not-consistently/50742932/1

The responses show high rates of contraceptive use among both sexes the first time they have intercourse (78% of girls, 85% of boys) and the most recent time (86% of girls and 93% of boys). The condom was the most popular contraceptive method, cited by 96% of girls.
Congratulations fellow youth population!!!! You’re using condoms!!!!!!!
*Confetti*

If you checked out the article, you also know that the condom use is not consistent. So check out my past blog "How do you get people to use condoms?" for a few tips on how to make it a little easier to make that condom use consistent.

Also don’t forget, there is no age requirement for buying condoms!!!
