Yea... I'm gonna call that a 'no'. Least not regularly. Boys are just starting to discover that girls don't have cooties and maybe want to do things with them while girls usually aren't that interested at that age. Maybe when they're 15 to 16 and even then it's hardly them just f***ing all the time (else teen pregnancy would be through the roof). Either way, I do think it's reasonable enough.

I can't say that I have any concrete figures, given that I was not part of the group in question, but I'd estimate that a solid third (if not half) of my grade 7 class (12-13) was sexually active. Obviously, that's anecdotal, a very rough estimate, and too small a sample size to make any major generalizations, but the fact remains that sex in grade 8 is not that uncommon, even if it's not necessarily enough of a majority to be the norm. And that's looking specifically at intercourse, so even those that didn't go that far until later were often engaging in other sexual activity well before doing so.
