HLN Reports that 45% of teens who are having sex do NOT use condoms. This takes us back to my first published newspaper article, "Teenage Sex Epidemic." My article points out various contributing factors to sexual behavior of teens. Some of the examples stated include: Lack of wise counsel from parents and guardians to teens and peer pressure. The reported outcomes are Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI or STD), unplanned pregnancies, unwanted children, and abortions... which brings us to my latest piece on teen sex to mind (School list: Things to do & know), as it discusses the availability of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccines for children as young as 9 years old.
