1 in 17 Teens Infected with STDs

Cute little Japanese girl?

1 in 17 teenagers hanging around Tokyo’s Shibuya-ku have been infected with an STD sexually transmitted disease.

Knowledge in STDs was insufficient among the teenagers and the disease was spreading.

A survey of high school students and teenage high school grads revealed that 68% had had sex and 5.8% had contracted an STD.

The average number of sex partners – 5.2.

Those who had contracted an STD had an average number of – get this – 37 partners.

Who can keep track of that many?

I lost track after…um…never mind.

80% knew what STD was…only 20% knew about it correctly.

STDs are 10 times easier to get than to get pregnant.

Chlamydia can prevent women from having children.

50% of the surveyed didn’t know AIDS was spreading among young people.

Still think the little teenage girls in Japan are cute?

Think again.
