No STD's, and not pregnant. I just turned 20, so on the bright side: I can't be one of those statistics if it were to happen, lol.

I was 16 when I got pregnant with my first baby, then 19 when I got pregnant with my 2nd, then had the other 3 in my 20s. And I've never had an std.

I've never had any STDs and definitely didn't get pregnant as a teen.

While this stat (1/3!) seems high to me, I can't be totally shocked. It's the number of girls who got pregnant, not gave birth. Between abortion and early miscarriages, 1/3 doesn't seem too crazy. Granted, there were only maybe 5 or 6 pregnancies that I knew of in my graduating class of about 100 girls, so my personal experience doesn't necessarily match up with the stat.

I lost my virginity in my twenties, I've fortunately never been pregnant, thank goodness. And I've also never had an STD.

Yep, I got pregnant at 16, had twins at 17... I got kicked out of my house, had to go get my GED... but now I'm a college graduate and a nurse and my kids will be starting kindergarten this coming school year... I wouldn't have it any other way.

We tried to save it for marriage partly because of the risk of pregnancy and partly out of respect for each other.

It didn't say. I assumed <18 since they were mostly talking about HS.

Well, crap. I never really considered myself a pregnant teen because I lost mine, but I was 19 when I was pregnant for the first time. It was close though because I was only a few months away from being 20! Lol. However, I thankfully have not ever had an STD

I don't know if I want kids ever and I certainly don't now. I have gone to great lengths to avoid getting pregnant or getting and STI and I've so far managed to avoid both.

I didn't get pregnant until I was 20 (almost 21, and it was very much planned... we tried for nearly a year before it happened)...and no STDs here. I did have a pregnancy scare at 17, but it wasn't for lack of protection or being careless, it was just a hormonal issue causing a late period.

I was 19 and still living at home when I get pregnant. But we planned the pregnancy and had plans for me to move out and get married. The first half of my pregancy I was 19 the second half I was 20. I'm not sure if that counts as a "teen pregnancy" or teen mom". I don't think so though. I have never had an STD.

When I was in high school, there use to be a poster on the wall in our health class that said 1 in 3 high school students have an STD. I may be wrong, but this sounds really, really false.

I've never had an STD and I've gone with several friends and partners to get tested, no one has ever been positive.

I actually did not have sex until I was 20. Not that I was opposed to teen sex, just that the right person didn't come along yet. So no I never had teen pregnancy or an STD.

No babies and no STDs. Good times as a teen.
