Question 1

why teen sex is dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Sexual activity: Some concerns that are not unique to teens are risks of pregnancy, STDs and abuse.

Question 2

what changes should be made to improve adolescent health and avoid teen sex?

Accepted Answer

Education, guidance.: This is a sensitive issue.  It would be wise to have them talk with their parents, or a doctor about this issue.  This and health class in school would help them get educated about eating right, getting exercise, and about avoiding teen sex.  This also would help them not to do drugs, and/or alcohol.

Question 3

what is a realistic way to stop teen sex and pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Education: This is a natural part of life.  Understanding consequences and dealing with them logically is occasionally beyond the teenage mentality, in which no adults understand their angst.  But that does not mean that we should not try.  There are those, however, who disagree, and feel that keeping people in the dark is a way to have them appreciate the light.

Question 4

what education level needed to prevent teen sex?

Accepted Answer

Probably preteen+.: This is hard to say, but probably a 11-12 year old or older can understand this and take steps to prevent it.  This is a sensitive issue though, and it would probably take more maturity.  It would be wise to have them talk with their parents, or a doctor about this issue.

Question 5

can you get cervical cancer from teen sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cervical cancer is strongly linked to human papilloma virus (hpv) infection. This infection is acquired during sexual contact with a person already infected. Teens can have hpv, and cervical cancer can be a result.

Question 6

clear&strong scented runny anal discharge not a lot/in a teen no anal sex, virgin, no surgery or other complications, why could this be?

Accepted Answer

Rectal discharge: Although anal discharge can be caused be anal sex there are other reasons for irritation to your rectal area. Proctitis can be from irritants underlying inflammatory bowel problem or other infections. Get checked.

Question 7

instead of a period i get brown mucusy stuff.  this has been going on for several months. i'm a teen, have never had sex.

Accepted Answer

Old blood: Generally, the brown color of the discharge indicates old blood in vaginal secretions. It may mean that the shed uterine contents have taken a little while to travel down your vagina &amp; the blood has darkened. Hormonal imbalances may contribute. This type of pattern would not be unusual in a young woman's early reproductive life. I don't think it is particularly worrisome, but discuss with your doc

Question 8

how would you feel if you'd missed out completely on sex as a teen?

Accepted Answer

I did. No problem.: You miss out on potentially devastating stds, feel you are in control, ie not risking pregnancy, and statistics show you are more likely to have a stable marriage.  Sex for teens happens, but for no good reasons.

Question 9

how do sex and alcohol affect a teen's social development?

Accepted Answer

Adversely: Alcohol blunts reflexes and judgement. You can make poor decisions, get into situations and relationships that can be harmful . Sex with multiple partners increases  risk of contracting sexually transited diseases. Drinking and partying a lot also does not promote meaningful communication with others...Ie jut talking with others builds friendships..These behaviors can also ruin your reputation

Question 10

how do i make teens understand about the harm of multiple sex partners?

Accepted Answer

Tough to do.: Teenagers feel that they are invincible, and that things wont happen to them. You can keep talking with them about STDs and possible pregnancy. And also encourage the use of condoms.
