I think it's really sad and scary to think how these girls' parents must be raising them, and also the kind of society that would make girls think this way.

Check out Mtv. There's your answer. I hadn't really watched it since I was in high school, 6 years ago. I turned it on one morning to look for a video of a song I had heard earlier and the "Pussycat Dolls" were on. My 2 yr-old was present, and I had never been so embarrassed in my life.
Mtv is *way* more influential than anyone's parents to a 13 year old girl.

The reason so many girls are wondering whether or not it is okay to be a virgin is beacuse in todays society sex sells. T.V., poster boards, internet, etc. all think it is okay to put woman in slinky next to nothing outfits and allowing young girls to believe that sex is a good thing. So now-a-days if you are not haveing sex you basicly are led to believe you will not fit in. Do I agree? No, but unfortuneately I have'nt any say so in what is advertised. My only advise to these girls is if you are a virgin try to stay that way till you are really really ready! Hope this answers your question. Hagd.

I feel sad for the parents because they can only do so much. As soon as their kid is out the door, there are so many other influences that they're subjected to. There's peer pressure to be accepted, media influences on body image and marketing ploys to sell sex. The teens get confused because even if they know it's okay to be a virgin, with all these other influences, all of a sudden, they're not so sure.

It's sad to think that young girls are even thinking this and their parents don't even have a clue whats going on in their children's lives.Today's parents are clueless on how to raise children they want to be their kids friends instead of being their parents.It's sad to think that when you go to the mall and see some of the provocative clothing that these girls wear and their parents are alright with it. Their children have no respect for any one around them because they don't teach it.Kid's are learning that to voice your opinion is okay but what they don't teach them is when to voice it.I hate to see what the next generation is going to be like because from what I'm seeing now it looks pretty sad.

Young girls are asking because it is plastered everywhere, magazines movies, tv..it seems so open now it not unreasonable for curiosity to set in. It is scary and sad the way that our society idealizes sex however it is what it is

Well you said it already, its really sad and scary. These girls feel the pressure of growing up too fast. It's so important that parents do everything to help their girls have a sense of self-worth and not be seeking acceptance through sex. I know I'll do everything I can to teach that to MY kid!

SOCIETY. They are constantly hit with images of sex in all its various forms and most parents aren't nearly vigilant enough to properly protect their daughters. Plus, schools are forced to teach about sexual "orientation" at very young ages as well as introduce sex-ed very early, with or without parental approval.
badfish: why do you say "make it easier for them to accept their choice" as if choosing to stay chaste is some sort of weird occurence? Is virginity the new taboo? How sad that your mind works like that.

Peer pressure, and today's society makes these young girls & boys question their virginity. I've seen lots of questions on here, and From my experience, I've tried to advise the girls & boys to just wait.............It'll be better for them in the long run.

I believe a particular episode of South Park sums up the answer to your question. Have you seen the one with Paris Hilton? All the girls want to be like her ("spoiled selfish whore playset") and at the end, everyone learns that parents should be the ones to tell their kids that people like Paris are terrible role models.

Peer pressure brings on more than a concern for self-awareness. They need to be determining if it is actually true...the stories told. Then they could make some decisions for themselves.
