Shocking Figures Reported on
Teen Sex Disease |
|
|
|
|
The Federal
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that at
least 1 in 4 American teenage girls have a sexually transmitted
disease. Nearly half of the black
teens in the study had at least one sexually transmitted
infection and the most common
one noted was the virus that causes cervical cancer.
The study indicated that because of inadequate sex education
information either from parents or schools, among the girls
interviewed who admitted to having engaged in sexual activity,
40 percent of them had an STD.
Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of
America, said that the study clearly shows that, "the national
policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion
failure, and teenage girls of America are paying the real
price."
This is a very serious issue for the entire nation. Parents are
in the driver’s seat and they need to send the message out to
the young girls, "Either change your behavior, use condoms and
get vaccinated."
