BOSTON - It was reported last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that one in four teenage girls has an STD. More revelations are coming out now, as it seems that many teenage girls do not have all of the facts about sex and STDs to help them make the right choices.
The results of the CDC report stated that just over one in four teenage girls has an STD, with around 50% of black girls having an STD, and 20% of Mexican-American girls, as well as white girls.
It is clear that now more than ever, teenage girls are having sex. Many have reported and noted concern of the overly-sexual world that we now live in today.
It seems that many of the problems are due to a lack of knowledge on the parts of the teenage girls, and boys.
Many teenage girls and boys have false knowledge on practices regarding sex, as many believe that things such as a plastic bag can help prevent an STD, when in reality it is simply not the case.
The most common STD was HPV, with chlamydia, gonorrhea, and others included.
One very notable way that people are beginning to preach ways to fight STDs, in terms of trying to teach teenage girls, is to give them more power. The more power they feel they have, the more likely they will say no.
It has been virtually proven that abstinence programs in schools simply do not work. Studies have shown that they have failed on occasions. This is why it may be up to the schools to educate teenage boys and girls in different ways, such as being more open with them, and accepting that sexual intercourse is going to happen.

Yeah, these results show that the current sex ed curriculum is a spectacular success. </sarcasm>
Femmanazi’s have been telling girl, spreading legs is the ultimate empowerment.....so I don’t know what ‘giving them more power’ is all about. Seems like pretty empowered to me.
So which one is it?? Using the phrases "Virtually proven" and "on occasion" in the same paragraph shows the writers' own agenda ...
The person who put those two sentences in conjunction with each other should be fired for an inability to think.
Due to lack of knowledge????
More likely due to too much knowledge and too little parental oversight!
????????????????
Hint: It ain't knowledge they lack. It is inability to control one's zipper.
Yes, we seem to have forgotten our basics:
1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
We've allowed ourselves to become Biblically illiterate, and are reaping what we've sown.
But there is hope for the sinner as stated in verse 11 from the same passage:
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
We need to turn from our wicked ways...
Ezekiel 33:11
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Yeah....lack of Knowledge of SELF CONTROL!
>> “It has been virtually proven that abstinence programs in schools simply do not work.”
‘Virtually proven’ means it hasn’t been proven.
Are more kids getting STDs because the percentage of kids having sex has increased?
Every adult should energetically advocate abstinence for minors. Not to is to abdicate the responsibility adults have for the welfare of children.
When I hear the arguments about the failures of abstinence, the opponents of the programs often suggest the kids are irreverent to authority and indifferent to the consequences of sexual activity. What’s there to say about the hopeless adults that have such a dim view for the potential and wellbeing of the young ones?
The children need to be held to higher standards simply because they deserve it. It’s our responsibility to give a damn and not act like the kids are in control.
Yes, exactly. Too much carnal knowledge.
What in heck is meant by “giving them (girls) more power?” What “power” is required to say NO? As soon as I write this I realize I am assuming that in every instance it is the male that initiates and the female responds. In today’s public high school that may not be a very reliable assumption.
Actually no, the headline should read: Teens Having Sex, Getting STD's Due to Having Sex. Really, is there a teenager in this country that is not informed about STD's and sex? Yet they have dangerous sex anyway.
Which just means it is just as effective as regular sex ed.
Girls who get STD lack knowledge because they’re stupid. They’ve been told that the risk for STD is high, but the information just doesn’t sink in. So we could pay more money for someone to tell them again, but stupid people don’t learn, and there will never be a shortage of stupid people.
All they need to know is not to have sex as teenagers. Seems shockingly simple to me. But then I'm funny that way.
