its not cool..don be a fool....

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been on the rise among teenagers. Last year, 791 teens were diagnosed with STIs at the clinic, more than three times the 238 cases in 2002. As of August this year, the number was 526.

Other statistics also point to people becoming more sexually aware from a young age.

A survey last year of 226 sexually active teens between the ages 10 and 19 found that three of them had their first sexual encounter at 11.

More than half have had at least three sex partners. One teen had 34, which might indicate that he or she was getting money for sex.
