We know. We're a day late. But it's timely, because, well, fewer teens are having sex!
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fewer high school students are having sex these days, and more are using condoms. The teen birth rate has hit a record low.
More young people are finishing high school, too, and more little kids are being read to, according to the latest government snapshot on the well-being of the nation's children. It's good news on a number of key wellness indicators, experts said of the report being released Friday.
"The implications for the population are quite positive in terms of their health and their well-being," said Edward Sondik, director of the National Center for Health Statistics. "The lower figure on teens having sex means the risk of sexually transmitted diseases is lower."
So thank you, Miss New Jersey, for keeping your pants on. With role models like you -- wait. Wow. It might really be time to retire this thing. *This* is the best we have? Oof. Hack Joke Alert. Wow. So, um, make you're own punchline, y'all.

A secretary at work, two hot minutes ago, loudly, to somebody: "I don't think them pictures were that bad, do you?"
