LOS ANGELES — There is good news for parents who worry that their teenagers’ sex lives are affecting their school performance: A provocative study has found that teens in committed relationships do no better or worse in school than those who do not have sex.
The same is not true for teens who hook up. Researchers found that those who have casual flings get lower grades and have more school-related problems compared with those who abstain.
The findings, presented yesterday at a meeting of the American Sociological Association in Atlanta, challenge to some extent assumptions that sexually active teens tend to do less well in school.
It is not so much whether a teen has sex that determines academic success, the researchers say, but the type of sexual relationship he or she is engaged in.

Sort of like an anxiety-free and stress-free marriage, right?
And if he's beating or mistreating her, right?

Newspapers sure have made it into one!
Honestly, readers, I'm tired of agenda-pushing studies that smell like bulls*** with all the coded MSM language to which I have become so accustomed.
