By the Way
I feel like I have researched so much about children with HIV/AIDS that I thought it was about time to move up an age group. Having just barely left the teens myself, I thought that this area could have a little more relevance to me and I found some pretty shocking statistics. According to the HIV Info Source, more than one half of all teenage males infected with HIV were infected through having sex with men. Sex among teenagers whether is be heterosexually or otherwise not only causes HIV but other STDs that can also be very dangerous. Approximately one quarter of all the sexually transmitted diseases reported in the United States occured among teenagers. These statistics really started to scare me and I think that my generation really needs to wise up. http://www.hivinfosource.org/hivis/hivbasics/children/index.html#teens_get

I do agree, this generation has really scared me. I am not very much older than you guys and this just seems like it a disaster waiting to happen. This generation is very much a whatever generation... and I don't mean that in a negative way at all. I mean your generation is so liberal. It reminds me alot of the 70's with free love and no discretion of with whom sex is had. This is a great sexual revolution but your right its time to wake up.
