Research shows that early-maturing girls in mixed-gender schools are at the greatest likelihood for engaging in risky sexual behaviors, including early sexual activity and unprotected sex. Early-developing boys in all-boys schools may have less opportunity for sexual experiences, while late-developing boys may feel less pressure to engage in sexual behaviors. Early-developing girls in all-girls schools may also have less opportunity for sexual experiences and may feel more pressure to conform to social norms of abstinence.
