Answer: (C) Been increasing

The number of American teens ages 15-19 who have had sex has declined significantly in the past 25 years, by 14% for females and 22% for males. It simply isn’t true that teens can’t control their “raging hormones” or that “everyone is having sex.” Hundreds of thousands of teens have signed “True Love Waits” commitment cards since the campaign began in 1993, pledging to remain virgins until they marry.  True Love Waits is now in 85 countries, and an estimated 2.5 to 3 million youth have signed cards pledging sexual abstinence until marriage.
