There has been a lot of publication and media attention given to the subject of teen pregnancy because this rate has been dramatically been increasing over the past twenty years. This is because of experimentation and the increase of provocative dress and more acceptances of higher sexual limits in public. There is also the issue of those who do so as a rebellion against their parent's rules but this is a more rare occurrence. Teens are more vulnerable to pregnancy because of a lack of education in school and at home and a lack of thought given toward the consequences of their actions. Teens also account for the largest portion of abortions in this country as well, which causes distr

Safe sex is important for both the woman and the man involved to be worried about. The statistics show that women are getting AIDS at a slightly faster rate than men are if you compare the numbers on the scale of number of people contracting it from year to year. For women the contraction of some diseases is more fatal because this will either increase the chances of her not having children at all or will increase the chances of her passing on the disease to the children she will be able to have. Men have a little more luxury in that they do not have to worry or carry the guilt of passing on the disease to children directly but rather only to other partners. This is why I believe that women need to be more cautious about being more responsible for being fully protected during sexual intercourse. I advise that women be on the pill and also make the man use a condom. The combination of the two will increase the chances that much more of not having children and also not contracting any diseases.

AIDS killed 2.8 million people in 1999. Many people used to think that the aids virus would only kill men because of homosexuality becoming more prevalent at the time of the startup of the epidemic.

Also women who have children after they contract the disease pass on the disease to their children who have to live the rest of their already shortened life paying for the bad decisions that their parents made. The fact is that in the U.S alone there are a total of 6,753 children under the age of 5 who are living with the HIV virus. These children did nothing wrong before being brought into the world but because of there parents irresponsible behavior; these children will die earlier than they should.

For those who don't know, I will explain what the AIDS virus does to the human body. The virus eats away at your immune system so that it has nothing to fight off bacteria and things like the flu with. The body cannot sustain a fight with other viruses and the person becomes sick and weaker. Also the disease lowers the body's red blood cell count which makes bones weaker and also aids in helping with the fighting off of other infections and sicknesses. Many people who die from AIDS die because they cannot fight off other infections or illnesses like the flu or pneumonia. The body is worn away from the infections and the AIDS itself and then the body cannot su
