Do you have a teenage daughter or know someone who does? The BBC News is running a story about STD’s and teenage American girls.

This story opens by stating:

One in four teenage girls in the United States has a sexually-transmitted disease, a study has indicated.

How many of you are saying to yourselves, “That is not my little girl.” This is one of the BBC News’ most emailed and read articles in the U.S. today, so I bet many of you are thinking about it.

Here is a link to the BBC story STDs rife among US teenage girls. You can also go to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tracking the Hidden Epidemic, which details sexually transmitted diseases by age, race, and region in the United States.
