Teenagers+are+involved+in+sexual+relations+more+than+they+ever+have+been.

Teens are involved in having sex and some do not even know what the meaning of sex is. Of course everbody has their own definition of what it could be but, are teens aware of what sex can lead to? Sex can lead to many complications. Statistics show that teens who are not sexually active are significantly less likely to feel depressed. It also says that teens who are sexually active are more likely to commit suicide. Safe sex is also a problem that we are beginning to face. There is approximately 8,000 teens who recieve a STD every day. This can come from numerous things but the more apparent reason is because there is no protection used during intercourse. Peer pressure is a tool used by teens that makes one feel powerful. It is used for acceptance. Teenage boys and girls both give peer pressure to the opposite sex, they do this so they can possibly get them to have sex with them. This is why I feel that teen sex is apart of a social issue.
