Smart teens don't have sex (or kiss much either).
Halpern CT, Joyner K, Udry JR, Suchindran C.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.
PURPOSE:
To examine the relationship between an intelligence measure and a wide
spectrum of partnered sexual activity ranging from holding hands to
sexual intercourse among adolescents.
METHOD: Analyses are based on two
separate samples of adolescents. The core sample of the National
Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) includes
approximately 12,000 adolescents enrolled in the 7th to 12th grades.
The Biosocial Factors in Adolescent Development projects followed
approximately 100 white males and 200 black and white females over 3-
and 2-year periods, respectively. Both studies used the Peabody Picture
Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as an intelligence measure, and confidential
self-reports of sexual activity. Logistic regression models were used
to examine the relationship between PPVT scores and coital status in
Add Health data; proportional hazard models were used to examine the
timing of initiation of noncoital and coital activities as a function
of PPVT scores in the Biosocial Factors sample.
RESULTS: Controlling
for age, physical maturity, and mother's education, a significant
curvilinear relationship between intelligence and coital status was
demonstrated; adolescents at the upper and lower ends of the
intelligence distribution were less likely to have sex. Higher
intelligence was also associated with postponement of the initiation of
the full range of partnered sexual activities. An expanded model
incorporating a variety of control and mediator variables was tested to
identify mechanisms by which the relationship operates.
CONCLUSIONS:
Higher intelligence operates as a protective factor against early
sexual activity during adolescence, and lower intelligence, to a point,
is a risk factor. More systematic investigation of the implications of
individual differences in cognitive abilities for sexual activities and
of the processes that underlie those activities is warranted.
Hhahaha so smart people stay abstinent and dumb people have sex. does that make those church people really smart? or rather.. parents and how they keep saying that you shoudlnt have sex until you're older is just a protective mechanism to ensure that your child IS smart... haha funnyness

| this sucks my last final is in less than 24 hours and i haven't started
studying at all for it and it's ochem and i know it's hard but i just
CANT CONCENTRATE!!
i sit at my desk for like 20 minutes then i need to get up i've washed
the dishes, walked around my room, looked around for jobs for other
people (haha i know im stupid), and i even took a shower to wake myself
up. auuugh this is so frustrating!!
all i can think about is... shopping after exams, gettin new glasses,
reaaading (must start on my read list!! so excited about it!! :) ) and
the desserts and i can finally not have to sit at my desk and lie in
sun or go climb a wall.. go play vball on beaach, or go take my camera
out of it's dusty bag and shoot dumb pictures of my friends again..
gosh i miss that
sniff sniff sunday baabaa and amy's leaaaving!! 
no fair we go yumchaaa at richmond and go tell them to "jou chaang"
which apparently when I say it sounds liek "go away" shrugs what can i
say.. i cant speak chinese properly
i bought another jacket hehehe i bought it on ebay this time and need
to wait for it to comee cept it's going to be summer so i won't get to
wear it until another 6 months haha that sucks
OKAy i will study i will i will!!! ><*
im amazed at people who can sit at their desk and study for so long. i
just dont have the... patience? blararrg it's bc my body and mind both
know hwo close i am to be finished and cant stop thinking about the fun
ahead
did you knowwww... if u drink too much coffee u get upset stomachs and
then u can't eat real food? i found out my personal coffee limit is two
triple grande's i felt so sick yesterday after all that like i just
wanted to puke everyth that i did eat out
i have a higher tolerance to alcohol than coffee haha that's weird
blarrrg!!
wynnie study ><*

| hahah my phys chem final is in 1.5 hrs and i'm not studying for it right now...
why? cuz im frustrated!! haha i hate this course and i want it to burn and die..
who caaaares about what the enthalpy or the system is??
who caaaares about what the stupid gibbs freaking energy is??
i doooont!!
i thot i got rid of physics last year after phys101 but noooo phys chem comes and bites me in the butt with more physics
dU=dq+dw
change in internal energy = change in heat + change in work
if i've done no work then my change in work will be zero. since my initial and final states of work are the same
and my change in internal energy = change in heat ( dU=dq)
but honestly what does all that tell you?? i've had an equivalent chnage of heat to equates my change in internal energy
and if i were an ideal gas then my change in internal energy under an
isothermal condition will mean that my change in internal energy is 0
sooo since this stupid library is hardly heated and i've experienced no
change in temperature can that mean that i'm under isothermic
conditions??
and what about the carnot cycle?
reversible adiabtic
isothermall
what does it all meeeean??
i wish the final was 100% kinetics
