Teens and Sex

Know the Truth

Teens are having sex sooner and sooner in today's generation. What use to be something shared between two people truly in love, seems to now be more of a trend to some. Yes, although sex is a natural part of life, it also comes with many consequences involved that many do not understand, or think of before undertaking in sexual relations.


Sex can lead to things such as AIDs, herpes, and chlyamdia, but it also posses the risk of pregnancy. Since the discovery of AIDs, over 20 million people in the United States have died. Sure, some STDs are curable, but many are something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

STDs consist of anything from rashes and discomfort, to sores and other infections. You can have an STD and not even know it and pass it on to your partner or they could pass an STD on to you. They are contagious even if you or your partner use a condom, so the best way to prevent them is abstinence.

well yes im young and i think i let this special boy take
virginity because he is special to me and i love him

However, it could have been much better put together in terms of
putting information across, as well as being better researched.
Good effort, though!
IT WOSE GOOD
Condoms are around 97% effective at preventing pregnancy when used
correctly every time, about 85% when they are sometimes used
correctly and sometimes not. That's way more than half.
