• The majority of young women become sexually active during their teenage years - the proportion who have had intercourse reaches at least three-quarters by age 20.
• More than half of 17-year olds are no longer virgins.
• Every year 3 million teens - about 1 in 4 sexually experienced teens - acquire an STD. That averages out to more than 8,200 different STD infections daily!
• Every year, at least 800,000 teen girls - 10% of all women aged 15-19 and 19% of those who have had sexual intercourse - become pregnant.
• 40% of those teenage pregnancies end in abortion. That's over 320,000 teen abortions every year!
