Most Teens Don’t Use Condoms
Recent studies and surveys found that most teens do not use condoms when they have sex. This is obviously cause for concern, since STD (sexually transmitted diseases) are cause by sexual intercourse without protection, and sexual contact without condom protection.
Over half of the teenage boys surveyed said they do not use condoms when they engage in sexual acitivity, while the teen women said nearly 2/3 of them did not use condoms. Whichever is closer to the truth, the fact remains that these numbers are concerningly high and may be cause for major concerns down the line when STD’s reach epic proportions.
The study and suvey focused on sexually active teens, which for this study’s purpose focused on teens that had been sexually active within the last three months. Statistics have shown that out of this group of sexually active teens, 1 out of every 4 will contract and STD in any given year - which is actually quite disconcerting.
Many teenage girls felt that they were somewhat pressured into having sex too early, for fear their boyfriends would get mad or abandon them.
