Its possible that the actual number is even higher. The statistics may reflect only the reported cases of STDs based on clinic visits and half baked surveys. No one will tell us that there is an epidemic for fear of spreading panic, but these findings only relate to American teenage girls. If you include all American women and AIDS the numbers would be staggering.

the long term affects are amazingly devestating; or can be,without Christ. Even with Christ, sexual sin is something that affects your marriage, and the Lord has to heal those areas.  BTW, that shot they give them for HPV (Human Papiloma virus) only protects from I think it's either 8 or 11 of 40 different strains of it, so it ain't fullproof! I had a roommate with it, and it's no joke!  Try getting your cervix scraped every six months to check for cancer! It is not a pleasent thing.  Sorry to be graphic.  Maybe I can scare some ppl in a "good" way.

Steve, even the drugs for cancer is killing our teen girls, whatever happened to "WAIT?" or even better Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added.  There was a teacher in my near past that said, "When he sought God, he saw her (his wife)," The harvest is truly plentiful but the laborers are few and those who have been laboring are being beaten so that it is horrible, but that is to be expected in this today's Humanistic World View. Let us continue to pray and continue to labor in the work and the Word of God.

Thanks for all the comments.  How unfortunate it is that we are allowing ourselves to be brainwashed by such ungodliness.

Truthful subject indeed........I talked to a coworker last week who admitted getting pregnant at age 15... and putting her baby up for adoption in 2004. She was living at home and realized her and the parents couldn't afford her mistake. She put the baby up for adoption. We are great friends and I shared my testimony with her as I was an adoptee. She told me it is no secret how many high school girls go and get abortions without any consent from their parents. Sex is a fact of life and no matter if the parents discuss the issue or not kids are going to do what they want regardless of the outcome..it's just another form of rebellion most of the time. It happens in any class of family as proven by Sarah Palin. Great blog!

Sadly it tends to be a way of life, and goes from generation to generation in families. They live for the moment, and from seeing what they are brought up in the midst of, they know No Better. But that is not an excuse by no means. Seemingly the day will come when all those who gave in to their one night stands, they'll wake up one day and realize that maybe what they did to their parents, it will come back two fold to them. Who pays for all of it? The child(ren). They suffer the consequences of their parents (teenagers) lack of responsiblity. So many live in the moment and not in the future. What is even sadder is that the high percentage of these kids who will end up going into another relationship and repeating the same habits, mistakes over and over again. As the old saying goes, human beings are the only animals on the planet that let their young come back home. From what I gather there are so many that are so insecure they just have to have a relationship in their life. They don't care about who or why, just that the person their with in the second will be there forever, and what usually transpires is just the complete opposite. Then they drop the bomb, go on to the next boyfriend , girlfriend of the week, and the spiral of mass destruction just repeats itself over and over and over. Thanks for the subject blog. It is a subject that needs to be addressed on every billboard in America.

i know it is way too sad that this world would educate them like that and have them watch movies about that stuff and tell them all these lies and lead them to believe they're all true and i am telling u that thee antichrist is out there getting those young teen girls and they're parents don't care no one cares what any of these teenage girls do and what they do with their bodies and how they get infected and when they're parent's finally care it is too late and it is just a tradgedy and it hurts me to see how america is making it ok to do these things in public and to let their daughters prostitute themselves and don't respect themselves to not give in to peer pressure and their insecure and they don't care what kind of relationships they have with these men and  i truly agree with momtocam and u said all the words for me mostly but i needed to put my two cents in too.Yes their parents don't want to take responsibility for anything their kids have done and now their children have to live with these diseases cuz their parents weren't responsible enough to care about them and just let them repeat the same habit's over and over and they will never be the same because of what america is doing and showing these young youth's in this world and yes i agree momtocam that it needs to be on every billboard in america and i wish they would do that and i wish someone had thee gut's to put this blog up all over thee entire world all over america on every billboard they have available and man i just want to see that happen so bad i might when i have a very good job i will post this with everything in my bones i will i will be courages and bold and strong and make a stand for all women and teenage girls all around the world as well for the  young men and teenage boys too.

As a father of two girls, I appreciate the post, however let's not forget that the girls are not alone in this!!!  The virginity of a young man is just as important to our Lord as is a young woman's.  This is also not being addressed in these numbers or in media, and needs to be.  Our sovereign Lord has no double standards and His displeasure with sexual immorality is applied to both genders by Him, although not by man. 

 Steve, one of the great things about your blog is that I will read this to my girls after dinner soon (the wife and I are on holiday, girls with my parents) and we will have an open discussion about what is going on in school.  My girls ar 14 and 9, and they attend a Christian school, however the older one has already seen girls in her class "give in" to sex.  She has watched how the boys, "sniff around them now, and you know what they want" as she puts it.  To have a 14 year old be that open about what is going on with her and her class is a true blessing from living according to the Gospel.  Just to say no, or don't do that, without the principles laid down by Scripture is not enough.  Scripture must be the foundation, and then showing the real world issues surrounding sex (as well as all areas of life), is a wonderful testimony of how True the Word is.  I had not seen this news come out, so your post will be an addition to our ongoing discussion of life of faith verses life without Christ.  Thank you brother.

Amen to Steve's post and Br Tom's additional information! Scripture must be the foundation, and then showing the real world issues surrounding sex (as well as all areas of life), is a wonderful testimony of how True the Word is.

Great information...keep it coming. There are a lot of young readers on here who need real information and Godly adult guidance as well as a lot of parents who need to have information to discuss with their kids. God bless

OK.  Here's some info for younger readers.  Years ago, when the church and the school were the main "social life" of any given community and most families had two parents who did the best they could for their kids, the sexual problems weren't as rampant.  Now the godly teaching and example is often lacking, partly because a single parent has worked so hard and is simply too tired to even be there for the kids, much less show them a good example of how a family can be. 

Re: marriage.  What ever happened to the fun of meeting that someone special, finding that you wanted to spend your lives together, sharing just one kiss before marriage (if even then), and consummating a relationship during the honeymoon because "now it's legal?"  Even the excitement of a woman getting to change her last name (in American culture) doesn't seem to exist much anymore!  And we used to like to be surprised about whether a pregnancy was going to produce a girl or a boy!  Barring unforeseen abuse of course, divorce or having other partners was rarely an option, and in the Christian community commitment was the name of the game. 

Please hear me when I say that not all marriages from 50 years ago were perfect, but children who were raised then had a little more time to learn and focus on what was really important, right or wrong, helpful or harmful.  Usually just one parent worked outside the home, and there were not so many school activities pulling family members in many different directions.  Most people only had one car so we just made choices about what activities to participate in.

In those days many families sat down to eat together and "communicated" on a regular basis.  There were curfews and rules and they were for our own good.  We knew we were loved and that God loved us. 

Today's society has forgotten (or never learned) how to set aside one day for a Sabbath of renewal/refreshment; we have destroyed much of what's left of nature around us, and we can't even see the stars unless we take a trip to an observatory.  How many kids know about vegetable gardens or have seen a cow close up? 

Sorry to stray from the original topic.  But there are just so many things that younger people don't understand today and in a sense I think they are victims of our present sex-oriented society.  We as Christians must reclaim the territory for Christ!  Let it begin with me...
