25% Of Female Teens Have An STD

Wow is all I can say. Using the numbers from the article, it would appear that approximately 1 in 2 female teens have had sex and of those who have, about 1 in 2 have some kind of STD.

About half of the girls [studied] acknowledged ever having sex; among them, the rate [of those infected] was 40 percent... For many, the numbers likely seem 'overwhelming because you're talking about nearly half of the sexually experienced teens at any one time having evidence of an STD,' said Dr. Margaret Blythe, an adolescent medicine specialist at Indiana University School of Medicine and head of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on adolescence.

Sadly, I only expect this number to rise as we continue to teach that everything is someone else's fault and everything is morally permissible so long as you deem it so.
