If it's any consolation, as a teenage girl, I was largely unaware of this phenomenon occurring.
I thought when guys brought their math book with them to the chalkboard they brought it to use if needed.
Or forgot they were carrying it.
Idk. I never thought about it much.
I can't even remember one incident of seeing a teen boy with a pitched tent in school. I'm sure there was. But nothing stands out.
I don't think most girls that age (or at least my generation) understood what an erection really was or how it worked. Most of us were oblivious to the teen boy struggle.
We were dealing with periods and soaked underwater. The latter of which was never explained in health class.
Us gals worried that a dark spot or wet spot was visible on the back of our pants.
They really don't educate kids very well about these things.
God, puberty was the worst wasn't it?
Horny and stupid. We could fix the stupid but that would require effort and education.
And for some reason people seem against that...
Everyone knew at our school, hell people had sex in the hallways, it's always interesting to meet someone who actually got to be a teenager
It's only a small percentage of teens are engaging in sex. The rest is rumors and lying. The few who are, are often talked about a lot making it seem like it's common but it's not.
Most teens believe everyone else is having sex when they aren't.
The only people getting laid regularly in high school are gay boys. Joking, not joking.

Even teens who have had sex often only had a single or few encounters.
Unfortunately most girls are being sexually active with older boys or adult men not their peer boys. Though that occurrence has been declining. Or at least it was. It used to be considered more socially acceptable for a 17 year old girl to date a 23 year old man. Not so much now. But it was very common in the early 2000s. And earlier.
Currently (2024) statistics show:
70% of Teen boys graduate high school with no sexual encounters. 69% of teen girls report the same (2024).
But just a decade ago the number was close to 50% for girls.
In general, people are having less sex and are interested in sex less than previous years. There are many reasons but the easy answer is "capitalism". All causes mostly spring from that root cause.
