Teen Sex = More Happy? Nope.
From the evangelical outpost via familyfacts.org:
More evidence that just doing your own thing is NOT the path to a "happy, comfortable" life, let alone a life that matters.
In this study, compared with peers who abstained from sex and drugs, girls who experimented with sex or drugs were two to three times times more likely to become depressed: those with multiple sex partners were 10 times more likely than their abstinent peers to become depressed and those who used drugs frequently were about seven and a half times as likely as peers who did not use drugs to become depressed.

I lost my virginity at sixteen; I started college the same year, graduated high school with a 4.4, have never tried a single drug, I do not drink or party, and never been pregnant; I've had two sexual partners, yet I have a full ride scholarship. Not to mention, every college wanted me. Oh, and I was a yearbook editor, drum line member, a part of the student government and the National Honor Society (oh, and the list goes on and on.) I'm now an adult and life is great. I'd like to think you should mention the exceptions to your study. Oh, and I'm a psychology major, as well.
