__Research Method__: Survey

__Research Question__: What causes teens to have or not to have sex?

__Hypothesis__: People who have had sex most likely were influenced by friends, peer pressure, social groups, or the significant other. And people who have not had sex are most likely influenced by values(family/parents, religion, ect.)

__Research Design__: Create a survey dividing those who have or not have had sex, adn asking two seperate ses of questions about their motives for their actions and the pros and cons of their choice.
