I’ve been getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases almost my entire adult life. It’s weird to think I haven’t existed as a grown human without worrying about catching something, but that’s what happens when you start having sex at a young age.
If this lowers your opinion of me, I acted even more reckless in high school. I was not only having sex, but even worse, it was with females instead of males.
Well, worse for me, anyway, but I don’t judge those who enjoy the opposite sex. But most irresponsible of all, I wasn’t getting tested.
Most teenagers don’t because no one tells them they should. If an unfamilial entity does so, they’re scolded or sued by the teen’s parents.
