This is by all accounts a rather saddening article, somehow made worse by the contrasts.

On the one hand you have these girls having sex at terribly young ages, the majority without protection and many with multiple partners. Then on the other hand, this gets contrasted with their firm beliefs in marriage, love etc.

It seems a terrible criticism of the evils of peer pressure, modern youth and street culture combined with the constant bombardment of sexual imagery they receive from the media. I knew Britain was the worst in Europe for juvenile sex, but didn't realise it was quite this bad!
