Couldn't Uncle John be Mrs. Ramsey's broher, or Cecelia's husband- or even Mrs. Ramsey's BIL? No. it specifically says in BSC in the USA, where they go to jessi's grandparents' house, that on the mantle is a picture of mr ramsey with his brothers, including an uncle john.

Maybe Jessi's Grandpa John was a fan of George Foreman's naming philosophy?

It would have predated that by a long time!

I think Stacey would probably have sex sooner than some of the others, more because of thinking she's in "luv," but also thinking she's more ready for it because she's tough and sophisticated and having sex takes a lot of responsibility, like having diabetes. But at least she has a good rapport with her mom, so I think she'd be more likely to confide in her and use birth control. Kristy would plan to wait, although I could see her going further than she planned to in a certain moment and being really mad at herself. ITA with these, that's well said. I definitely agree with this; that's why I nominated Stacey as one of the possibilities. I think it was the sophisticated part and also the fact that in 8th grade, she has already had serious relationships with older guys and all, was one of the first to get to kissing, etc. Of course, Mary Anne and Logan are in a "long-term" relationship too (although in BSC time, they've really probably only been together a few short months), but I just pictured Mary Anne as too shy/quiet/pure. Maybe I stereotype--as one of you pointed out, it's often the quiet ones who get intimate first. Someone mentioned fanfiction--actually it was fanfiction that got me thinking about this. In fact, there was one where Kristy gets pregnant at 17, but I just don't see that one. In another, Claudia and Laine are both quite slutty. They aren't thirteen in *those* fanfics though, so it's not as pervy as it might sound. i wasn't talking about them doing this at 13 of course, although it's hard not to picture them as 13 so it does feel a bit twisted.

I actually have a fan fic I'm working on where Mallory is an older virgin because she never grows out of her dorkiness enough to get into a relationship yet won't do the one night stand at a bar thing. She's the kind of girl that either gets ignored by men or annoys them. Vanessa is attempting to help her out but she's a nerd too. Just not as nerdy as Mallory. And Jordan and Byron have become rock stars and Stacey is their biggest groupie.
Stacey will lose it early probably first. Mary Anne second to Logan. Stacey's will probably be to an older guy at a party. I see her as the sleep around type and Mary Anne as the type who has to be in a serious relationship. Mary Anne and Logan will probably be more responsible than Stacey and make a trip to Planned Parenthood beforehand. Stacey won't be expecting it but she'll feel oh so sophisticated after.

I can see Stacey as a young, single mom.

I can totally see her as a young single mom too. Her baby will be like Stacey junior and she'll make sure that baby is the most sophisticated baby on the block. Unless it was a boy.

Funnily enough, I could imagine Mallory losing her virginity at a young age - she was so insecure, she'd be flattered that some guy was paying attention to her and be willing to put out just to win their approval.
Stacey's an obvious choice. I could also imagine MA feeling pressured by Logan and deciding to go all the way. She'd be unlucky enough to get pregnant first time and everyone would be shocked that someone with such a strict upbringing could end up a teenage mother.

I don't get why everyone thinks Mary Anne's such a pushover who'd do it with Logan. Didn't she break up with him twice? I think she'd outgrow Logan by high school and if she did do it, it'd be with someone else.

^ she did break up with him, but it was only after he had been pushing her around for a while. But yeah, you're probably right. It's just fun to imagine these scenarios.

I can see MA losing sometime late high school to her long term boyfriend (not Logan). Stacey prolly, but not sleeping around. Claudia, yes. I don't think she'd think there's anything wrong with it. Mal - yes, if someone was willing to be with her (Ouch!) Kristy - No, waiting til her wedding, and Abby, i don't think she cares. Jessi will focus on her career.

Come to think of it, all the BSC were pretty strong-willed. I don't think any of them could've been pushed into it. Also, I think BSC land teenagers would be like Sweet Valley teenagers - sex doesn't exist in their universe ;D

I agree with what a lot of people have said about Stacey. I don't see her as a 'sl*t' (hate that word) but she tends to fall 'in luv' within minutes and is very quick to convince herself that they feel the same way. When guys she likes pay her attention or even ask her to do favours for them, she sees it as their way of letting her know how they ‘really feel’ about her (see Scott, Wes, etc.). All it’d take would be for some guy at a party to take an interest in her and she’d be theirs. She’d think it was the start of some epic romance, of course, and be devastated when he never called her again. Mary Anne will lose hers on her own terms while she’s in a steady relationship in high school. Kristy will, too, but quite a bit later than MA. Claudia and Jessi will be quite old when they lose theirs, IMO, as they won’t have much time for/interest in boys during high school. I can also see them possibly developing eating disorders as they get older, and even if they don’t they both seem very career-focused and independent. Plus, they’ll both have very high standards for their potential boyfriends. Claudia seems very idealistic when it comes to romance (her fantasies about Trevor Sandbourne, and her image of the ‘perfect boy’ in #71), and when you’ve had a grand romance like Jessi and Quint’s at the age of 11, how is any subsequent relationship going to measure up? I suspect they’ll both be disappointed by the reality of high school boys. I feel slightly creeped out about how easily I came up with these scenarios. Not necessarily because of the whole ickiness of the thought of the innocent little BSCers doing the bad thing, but because I’ve analysed the books so much over the years that I’ve practically mapped out the members’ futures in my head without even realising it.
