A study encouraging parents not to worry about teen sex hurting grades. Evidently someone at Time wrote this with a straight face:

Worried parents can breathe a little easier today, after results of a study were released that suggest that not all teens who have sex have lower grades as a result.
Presented on Sunday at the American Sociological Association conference in Atlanta, the results found that if students have sex within a committed relationship, there is no resulting effect on grades. However, if students simply “hook up” and have casual sex, their grades do tend to be lower, according to the Associated Press. Researchers say the type of relationship matters, since a close relationship also provides emotional support, while having casual partners may increase stress.
These findings challenge conventional notions that having sex at a younger age affects academic performance. The study may cast a new light on sex education in schools, which some experts now say ought to emphasize the importance of relationships and warn students about casual sex.

Abstinence education for many — including successful programs like Elayne Bennett’s Best Friends the body of teachings of John Paul II on human sexuality — has never been about just saying “no” but about self-dignity and the fullness of humanity and respect for one another. Emphasizing the importance of relationships, I suppose, is a way to get to some of that sanity. But everyone being at peace with teen sex? Not so much.
