			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>UNPROTECTED INTERCOURSE</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Nobody wants to talk about it, but everbody wants to do it..</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>In this day in age, so many teens have unprotected intercourse while not thinking about the consequences that may follow behind. Its like unprotected intercourse, or even intercourse in general is cool, but in actuality half of the teens who engage in having intercourse aren&#8217;t ready, and they are pressured into doing it. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>But, is it really that hard to say no??</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I think not. I think all teens, or whoever you may be need to stand up and say no. We as a group, meaning teens, need to take more pride in our health and who we are and change the way of the world, because to many teens are being infected and std&#8217;s are at an all time high and the numbers are steadily increasing.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>40% of the teenage girls reported having intercourse. 26% percent had intercourse transmitted infections; 18% had HPV. Chlamydia, the second most common infection, was present in 4% of the teens. The researchers also included herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis in their analysis.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>As you can see these numbers are astronomical for teenagers, and it needs to decrease..</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>so lets make a change..</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>STAND UP AND SAY NO!!!!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong></p>
