Quotes to Note

Of the estimated 18.9 million new STD cases in the USA in 2000, 9.1 million (48 percent - almost half) were among 15- to 24-year-olds. [CDC]

The cost to treat (not necessarily cure) newly-acquired STDs among this age group each year is estimated at $6.5 Billion.

[Alan Guttmacher Institute]

 
Power Point: Implications of the Virginity Pledge on Teens PDF Print E-mail

This is a Power Point presentation for parents and teachers.

The purpose of this presentation is to show the value of the Virginity Pledge.

Studies have verified this effect.
