    Sure, that’s true. It’s all anecdotal but I’m also thinking of how people talked at the time in general.

    When I wrote that I was thinking mostly of everyone I knew in my uni years and into my 20s (esp. with the sexual freedom stuff) but I also had in the back of my mind that I saw peers experience teen pregnancy when I was in high school, and there was stuff in the wider media about it being a problem. (In my elementary school, we all got Sex Ed classes, too.)

    That was an age old problem that I hear has recently been reduced significantly. (Probably helps if not just the kids but also parents got sex education early in life.)
