Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in young people
Sexuality is a right of every human being, it is part of normal development and fulfills diverse and fantastic functions, however, it creates a lot of concern during adolescence, this concern arises since in the sexuality of the adolescent it is seen as immature, confused, experimental, risky, dangerous and inappropriate. From this perspective, sexual experiences such as intercourse are considered fundamentally transformative, marking a point of irreversibility between adolescence and adulthood, so what risks do sexuality present in young people in young people?
Adolescents (10-19 years) and young (20-24 years) today constitute the future generation of parents, workers and leaders, so all kinds of support should be given, in particular by the family, the community and the government committed to its development. As economic modernization, urbanization and the media change expectations, the behavior of adolescents and young people adapt to new life forms, which could be inconvenient, painful, inevitable and inescapable. It is necessary, therefore, that adolescents and young people become aware of the imminent danger that represents the beginning at an early age of sexual intercourse, and much more if these are unprotected, because they could end up in risky abortions, in contracting an ITS including theHIV/SID and unwanted pregnancies, with the consequent affectation to the mother or the product of conception, due to the immaturity of the female reproductive organs

With this we realize that adolescence is a time of both opportunities and risks. Young people are on the verge of love, a working life and participation in adult society and, nevertheless, adolescence is also the time when some young people participate in behaviors that limit their possibilities. At present, investigations focus more and more on how to help young.
