I spent very long periods of time as a teen with any adult supervision, my parents wouldn't even necessarily know where I was. This was fairly common for many (not all) of my peers growing up. I don't think it is as common now.

It's much easier to get laid without pesky adults around.

Mad posting spree by OBE! :D

Awareness about keeping your virginity? Or about the perils of sexual intercourse?

I can assure you that my cohort received a constant barrage of education about the latter. It was the age of AIDS, safe sex was all we ever heard about.
