As a parent it is your job to teach your children about STD diseases. If you don’t sit down to have a ten minute talk, even if it is uncomfortable, you could be leading your child to their death. Nobody is going to educate your child for you. Planned Parenthood states that “It’s best to start talking with children about sexuality in early childhood – but it’s never to late.” You pave the road for your child by teaching them about what is okay and not okay, protection, STD diseases, pregnancy and more. If you are older and had nobody who has told you about healthy sexual activities then it is important that you educate yourself. Take the attitude of your body being a temple and you want to make sure that you are not harming it by any activity. You would never jump off a bridge and hope for water instead of pavement so don’t have unprotected sex and hope that you won’t be infected with one of the many STD diseases. Never believe someone who says that they have been tested. Always protect yourself and don’t count on someone else to do it for you.
