Keep It In Your Pants, Youngsta!
For years, we’ve been trying to figure out how to get kids to stop schlumping each other at the tender ages of 12-19.
“Wait,” they’d say. And nary an adult ever offered up a really good reason as to not get to some teenage sexxing. Well, aside from that whole teenage pregnancy thing and teenage parenthood thing. But that’s the girl’s problem right?!
Well, NOW, I’ll be damned if we don’t have the best way to reach the kids. By now most folks have heard about the CDC study that claims 1 in 4 teenage girls has an STD. To wit:
At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.
A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.
Um damn.
It seems that teenage pregnancy is on the decline these days which means that kids are either taking the route to abstain or are being smarter about their protective practices. And honestly, I’m not sure school of thought I believe more. With so much drama in the LBC…
Ooops.
With so much information out there in the world today available to a younger generation that’s clearly into information, it’s quite possible that little girls are just saying “No” like we used to do to drugs. Word to Nancy Reagan. However, that same information might be scaring boys into rocking the Jimmie hats. Though I wonder if condom consumption is at an all time high.
But clearly there are lots of kids who are still going to be fucking. It’s inevitable and it’s life. Grownups should accept it and make sure that you provide your kids with all the information they need to make informed decisions. So, for the rest of the kids who will inevitably be fucking, I suggest that we plaster a banner in every classroom across the nation that says:
THERE ARE 20 GIRLS IN THIS CLASS. 5 OF THEM MIGHT BE BURNING. ARE YOU REALLY WILLING TO TAKE THE CHANCE ON BEING WRONG?

Thing is, I’m half serious about this. For some reason, the risk of pregnancy doesn’t register with boys and in many cases young girls. But throw in a little, “Boy, you might fuck around with the wrong girl and your dick might fall off. No really, read this study from CDC, 25 percent of the girls in your school got something!!!”
Who cares if the math is a little fuzzy or the extrapolation is a wee bit off. The message clearly wouldn’t get across to many boys but I’ll bet if you’d told me in high school when I got my career off the ground that these chicks were running around as internal laboratories, I might have put the career on hold.
Who am I kidding. Young boys don’t care. They’re dumb like the dude Dru on the new season of BET’s College Hill. All they want is pussy.
Nevermind.
Are you gonna be posting three times a month regularly?? Don’t o building an audience then disappearing. M’kay?
“Yeah I see her / First, Ms. Thang, now Ms. Gonnorhea” That was my SHYT!! But wait, this is my favorite part…”You should’ve put a sock on the pickle / then your p*ssy wouldn’t be blowin’ smoke signals” LOL!!
HPV can be transmitted with condoms on, the men rarely if ever check for it because it rarely if ever effects them (plus its a pricey test that you have to ask for, so most of them just wait until the women find out); on top of that HPV isnt something women realize they have, it probably wont show up on their pap smear (which they should be doing annually) until much later into its development, so they spread it without knowledge to other women through the men.
Aim, text messaging, etc makes hookups and promiscuous sex-ups much easier to do than it was before. throw that in there for taste.
Also, the newer generations are much more open to the option of abortion than ever. the decline in pregnancies might not correlate at all to the rise in stds.
we’re going to fuck ourselves to death.
