    (Navarro et al., 2002) There are multiple reasons as to why adolescents or young are adults are at greater risk to develop or contract an STD. The sexual behaviors of young adults are different as of those who are older. Adolescents or young adults may be unable to implement the act of using a condom correctly and effectively. They may also be unable to comfortably communicate with their sexual partner(s) effectively about sexuality and less likely to acknowledge the risks associated with their sexual behaviors.

    Chlamydia

    Many teens today are more prone to catching a sexually transmitted disease by being sexually active. From my judgment I see in today’s generation, most teens think by simply doing it and losing their virginity, they’re accepted in society’s standard. Teens think it’s so cool or in other cases some may even think they finally reached their ‘manhood’, when in reality, it’s nothing like that. Having sexual intercourse isn’t and shouldn’t be based on popularity, it is something that should be taken seriously. There are a lot of risk when deciding to have intercourse with someone else, especially if you’re not being careful. Teens are not aware that there will be consequences such as getting pregnant and catching a sexually transmitted disease (STD). When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the United States offers woefully inadequate education says Familyfirstaid (2004). The most common mistake a teen can make is thinking that their body is immune to STD’s. Chlamydia is a silent but deadly STD if not treated well and is one of the common one that teens can get and not even know, according to Chlamydia Quick Cure.…

    This report by Child Trends is based on the usage of the birth control pill. The reports intended audience is the general public, but more specifically teenagers. I found this source by using the search tool Scout. The report includes trends and statistics of the pregnancy rates of sexually active teenagers that use contraceptive methods based on the differences in gender, race, and grade. The percentage of sexually active teens in the US and European countries are very similar but the pregnancy rate in the US is much higher because the percentage of teens on the pill is much lower. The first chart shows the percentages of sexually active high school students by gender that reported being on a birth control pill at most recent intercourse from the years 1993-2013. The second chart demonstrates the percentage of sexually active high school students by race, Hispanic origin, and gender that reported using a birth control pill at most recent intercourse in the year 2013. The third and final chart used in the report shows the percentage of both sexually active males and females from grades 9 through 12 on a birth control pill at most recent intercourse in 2013. The report also includes links to different cites with percentages of high school students on birth control pills in select US states and cities and different international countries. This report illuminates my paper and helps shape my arguments because it compares birth rate percentages in high school students in different countries which gives me concrete evidence to talk about in my paper.…

    According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the average teenager engages in sexual intercourse by the age of seventeen, but do not marry until the mid-twenties (citation). This means that young adults are at an increased risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections for nearly ten years or longer. The numbers of students engaging in sexual activity of ages thirteen to twenty-four continues to grow each year, as does the number of unplanned pregnancies and HIV infections due to not being fully educated about the risks. Today, the duty of educating students and teenagers about sexual intercourse and the risks involved is left to the government and public school system. Abstinence education programs in public…

    Teens did not know their own bodies. There were little factual resources that teenagers can depend. Few choices left for them, teenagers were guided along high risk actions. Abstinence was the approved option by parents, as it teaches teens to not be sexually active but not on protection or STDS. Another path is exploration on their own means. Exploration was dangerous, because teenagers were unaware of the consequences. Both options plunged teens’ health into a abyss. Then around 1980s, media started to reach towards the topic of sexual activity in teenagers. Many teen movies brushed against the topic about sexual activity and gave more positive responses than usual. Now, there is a rapid increase in sexual activity amongst teens. Due to this rise of sexually active teens, sexual health programs in high schools need to be updated to accommodate this change. High schools need to avoid only abstinence learning and implemented new programs for…

    The United States has the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy of any developed country. Each year, unprotected sex results in almost four million teenagers contracting an STD. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is also a serious health concern for young people. Of the 40,000 new HIV infections in the US every year, about 20,000 occur in people under the age of 25, unprotected sex being to blame. (1) The National Abortion Rights Advocacy League says, “By denying teens the full range of information regarding human sexuality, abstinence-only education fails to provide young people with the information they need to protect their health and well-being.” (2) Surveys done by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that “students who have sex education know more and feel better prepared to handle different situations and decisions than those who have not.” (3) If the abstinence-only approach continues, it is expected have serious consequences by denying young people access to the information they need to protect themselves. These…
