Sex In Committed Relationship Not A Distraction In School
Females who report having both romantic and nonromantic sexual relationships have a 55 percent greater risk of truancy, 30 percent lower chance of hoping to attend college and 300 percent greater chance of dropping out.
But the study said the dropout rate should be viewed with caution because of the small numbers in some of the relationship categories. Twenty-three female dropouts reported to be in exclusively nonromantic relationships; 31 female dropouts said they were sexually involved only in a romantic relationship; and 40 female dropouts reported they were virgins.
Males who reported having both romantic and nonromantic sexual relationships have a 120 percent greater chance of being truant and 270 percent greater chance of dropping out.
Negative impacts of sexual activity are not necessarily more pronounced for females or younger adolescents, the researchers found. In fact, males suffered a more consistent negative impact on their educational experience if they had sex in nonromantic relationships.
The study involved data from the "National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health" and the "Adolescent Health Academic Achievement Study."
