Sharp Rise in Teenage Promiscuity Afflicts Britain
by John Ross Schroeder
As many as 150,000 British girls
have been infected with a sexually transmissible disease primarily
transmitted by promiscuous sexual activity. Many teenage girls don't
even know that they have it. This disease among girls has soared by
56 percent in the last two years with 100,000 more likely to catch
it in the next year. The worst thing about this particular disease
is the serious threat to their future fertility.
The Daily Mail has looked
at the problem and summed up the British plight very well: "How have
we allowed sex to become such a threat to the future of the family?" Well
put, and a good question with a very simple answer. Because those responsible
have not brought up our youth to keep the Ten Commandments.
Their religious and moral education has been sadly neglected by those
who ought to know better.
Virtually untaught by the clergy
and by their parents, today thousands of young girls gamble with their
precious capacity to have children. This should not be so.
Young women should be able to look
forward in hope to that special time in their lives. Obedience to the
biblical commandments intended to protect family life is designed to
prevent the tragedies afflicting our youth today. That is why the Bible
underscores the value of motherhood and morality, acting in tandem.
The Curse of Chlamydia
The offending disease is called
chlamydia, one of the most easily transmitted of all STDs. Perhaps
70 percent of those females infected develop no symptoms. But if untreated
the bacteria can lie dormant for months before passing through the
cervix and possibly inflaming and blocking the Fallopian tubes, down
which a woman's eggs must travel. The damage done is often permanent,
rendering the victim unable to bear children.
