Adolescents Sample Clauses

Adolescents. Sexual violence is a significant problem in the US affecting adolescents and adults. A national survey conducted in 2007 found that of those adolescents who experienced forced sex, 60.4% of females and 69.2% of males were 17 years old or younger at the time the first forced sex occurred. The National Crime Victims Survey and other national data sources indicate the following: • In a national survey of high school students, 8% reported being forced to have sex. Females were more likely to report having been forced to have sex than males. • Data from the National Survey of Children indicate that about 18% of women 17 and younger who had intercourse had been forced to do so at least once. • The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that in the 12 states with sufficient information to distinguish juvenile from adult rape victims, the majority (51%) of female rape victims were under age 18, more than twice their representation in the nation's population. In the three states that kept data on relationships between victims and offenders in rape cases with victims ages 12-17, a full 20% of perpetrators were identified as family members, while 65% were acquaintances or "friends" of the child victim. • The Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Institute reports that over 40% of mothers aged 15-17 had sexual partners three to five years older; almost one in five had partners six or more years older.

There is a relationship between age of sexual initiation, number of partners, frequency of sexual activity, history of sexual abuse, and other risk factors particular to adolescents. In NYS, the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) found the percentage of teens that have experienced sexual intercourse increases with age, from 28.0% of ninth graders to 62.6% of 12th graders. These numbers are comparable to the national average of 30.2% of ninth graders and 56.4% of 12th graders (2005 YRBS). Of New York students responding, 42% report ever having had sexual intercourse with 6.2% reporting having had sexual intercourse for the first time before the age of 13. 31.5% of high school students describe themselves as currently sexually active. Among students reporting that they are currently sexually active, 67.7% report using a condom at last sexual intercourse. In NYS, 9.6% of high school females and 11.2% of high school males reported experiencing dating violence1 with 8.3% of high school females and 6.9% o...
