I'm in 8th grade (14 years old) and in my view, it's bc we think that we're basically old enough to do what we want, we think that we're old enough to do anything. I learned this in Health last week, but There's a higher rate of STD's in 9-14 year olds than any other age rate bc our Prefrontal Corex (front of the brain) makes all of our mind and body decisions and it doesn't fully develop until we're 21. So until we are 21, that part of the brain goes with instinct instead of for SURE common sense. Instinct like, making out with our bf/gf bc we think we're ready for steps in relationships like that. And because we think it's sweet and were completely in love with eachother, even though middle school relationships are like experimental. High school and college years are when we start getting into serious relationships that can lead to marriage and stuff.
 * Sorry I went like ALL LOGIC up in here XD but we literally just learned about this in Health last week. XD
