A sobering statistic has just been released from WebMD: One in four teenage females has a sexually transmitted disease.
Though it’s not news that girls are sexually active at a young age, especially in American and European societies, what is news is how an STD can affect them down the road.
Although STDs are usually not fatal (though they absolutely can pave the way for fatal infections and complications), they can lead to long-term problems, including infertility. That means a decision to have sex (or oral sex) which is made when a girl is in her teens could have serious repercussions decades later.
