Sex in the Middle School
Few parents are aware of the kinds of choices many teens must now make as a regular part of early courtship, or that oral sex is now an issue for boys and girls barely in their teens. LEO sent a trio of interns, all recent local high school graduates, into the streets of Louisville to talk to teenagers, parents, counselors, doctors and others about sexuality in middle school. Joanna Richards, Andrew Tangel and Nicole Leist spent months researching this story, and LEO editors "eventually had to pry it from their hands because they just kept digging and digging for more information," says an editor's note.
