ABSTRACT
It’s 9:10 p.m. Anastasia, a high school senior, just concluded her daily journal entry. Tonight she narrated, in great detail, her most recent sexual encounter with her high school boyfriend. Anastasia described how they “rented a hotel room,” “made love” using a condom (“We may be teenagers with raging hormones, but we’re not stupid”), and afterward stopped at Wal-Mart to “buy a brush so I could fix my hair” before going home. She expressed how wonderful she felt and how she thought her boyfriend loved her, “even though he hasn’t said it yet.” She marveled, “If this is as close to being high as I get, I hope I never come down.”
