Today, STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are becoming more common in teen girls. Thats more than 3 million teens worldwide. STDs come from a virus that causes cervical cancer that can also cause sexually transmitted diseases in teen girls from the ages of 14 to 19. The highest overall is black girls. Nearly half the the blacks had one STD while only 20% of white and Mexican-American teen girls had it.

Nearly 40% of teen girls acknowledged having unprotected sex. Some said it was just an intercourse while other said oral sex can easily spread infections. For many of these young girls, it is overwhelming to hear about the infection have sexual intercourse can spread. It is also overwhelming to know that once you have an STD, you will have it for the rest of your life. This is because there is no cure for STDs yet.

Dr. Margaret Blythe, an adolescent medicine specialist, knows what they go through and can help them by giving them treatment or medication for it. Teen girls are way too young to be having sex and should think about the problems it can do to their health before they choose to do so. They are not mature enough to know about sex and should wait until they are adults and married before they have sex. Teen girls should really be careful about the choices they make because it can lead to problems in your life.
