Interesting study that popped up on CNN recently. All the youth pastor blogs are talking about it. What do you guys think? Over-rated hype? Probably true? If it's true, statistically, a lot of your friends have an STD of some type.

VIDEO: 1 in 4 teen girls has an STD


Here's also a lady's story about her life growing up, contracting an STD and marriage. Watch the video there (the movie was created by her husband).

Wow... that's alot of people...
i can't believe that that
many girls can have STDs...
That is just sad...

I have a lot to say on this, but I'd really like to hear what everyone thinks instead.

I remember when I was in high school and the stat was 50% of all sexually active girls had STD's.
It's hard to say how accurate these stats are since random surveys are hard to conduct while being truly "random." I think it's safe to say that the stats are too high though. I suppose any percentage is too high since STD's are easily avoided with abstinence.

I honestly dont think that 1 in 4 girls has an STD but i do think its a lot more than ppl think. I happen to know of a lot of ppl just at our school that have contracted STD's already.... its tough and most of them aren't too shy about sharing which i find odd but also just the number of ppl who admit that there sexually active is increasing tremendously. its sad really.... its seems as though are culture should be doing so much more to encourage purity but instead they discourage it.
