Advertiser Staff and News Services
Most teens say sex outside of marriage is OK.
So says a Gallup Poll regarding teens' views of divorce and sex outside of marriage.
The Gallup Poll youth survey recently asked teens (ages 13 to 17) what they think about the moral acceptability of specific issues surrounding marriage. Results indicate a majority of teens see both divorce and sex outside of marriage as morally acceptable (66 percent and 57 percent, respectively).
About four in 10 (42 percent) feel the same way about having children out of wedlock. And 5 percent of teens said married men and women having an affair is morally acceptable, while 94 percent said it is not.
