Teenage Americans

Adolescent sexual behaviour
  • Nearly 70% of all unmarried females are nonvirgins by age 19 (80% of males).
    • 25% of females have had sex by age 15; almost all these encounters were forced or coerced.
    • Average age of first sexual experience is 16 years.


  • Adolescents in the aggregate still drift into sexual activity rather than decide to have sex.
    • Most adolescent sexual activity will take place in the context of one primary relationship.

    • Most adolescents are not promiscuous, but "serially monogamous."

    Recent survey tells us that 57% of adolescents claim to have used a male barrier method during their last act.
    • Research suggests that this might be an over statement. Most do not do what they say.

    • More than 50% of sexually active adolescents do not use birth control regularly.

This is what KAPLAN tells me! The point is that we should not let these problems creep into our society. We happen to be following every vice of the western world without hesitation thinking, or pretending to think, that they are a usual part of the package of success. Dictator's newly preached enlightened moderation may be a good point but for most of the population it is just another excuse to blatantly follow what every American or British night club has to offer.
   Our metropolitan cities have changed for the worst in the past 6 years or so. All of a sudden there is a change which involves degradation of moral values and shunning of good aptitudes. All night raves are as commonplace as ice cream hawkers in the summer time. Drugs have creeped in like a menace. Bars are common knowledge and still lot is on its way. This change where it is bad in its own place serves to widen the rift between the priviliged and the under priviliged. Smaller cities have plunged into the other side of extremism. People from these parts feel left out and are getting angrier by the day. Worthlessness is creeping in for those who can not afford to run alongside the others. I see disturbance very similar to French riots in not so distant future if such trends exist for a longer time.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
