STDs Or STIs: The New Crisis Of Today's Teens Blog Post #3
Hello
people of earth!!! My name is Betty and this is my last blog post on STDs Or
STIs (if you prefer). If you click here you’ll see my first blog post on this
issue which talks about why I’m discussing and interested in this topic and
some information on it. If you click here you’ll see my second blog post on
this which is mainly about more new information that I found out about this
topic and graphics that show you more about the risks of it.
But even with all of this the one question that most certainly needs to be answered is What has been done about with and What can we do today to make it better?
From what I know to raise the awareness of this issue in each school in Philadelphia there is the health class that teaches the about the causes and effects of STD, HIVs, and AIDs and it is mostly required that every student in the current school must take this class. But as I have researched about this and lately it says in this article that was posted this year on April 16 that lately schools have made little progress in teaching students about these issues. Which I am very disappointed in. I have just recently learned that April was STD awareness month. It says that it was made to call to the attention of young teens about the impact that STDs or STIs can have on you and there are some people that campaigning to raise the knowing knowledge of STDs and the importance of having safe sex.
In making a stand and a change I made a collage and two poems that I will print out and post around my school and as my teachers politely if I can hang it up in their rooms. The collage are for the ones that are more images that speaks to them and the poem is for the poem who feel that words are what has more impact and power and will actually read it.
I would like to acknowledge my close friend Yourcenar Destin with the collage and for reviewing my poems.

"That one night"
that one night
who knew it could bring such a fright
at the time it felt so nice , so fun
now i have rashes all over my buns
STD aint got nothing on me ,
STI I have to say goodbye ,
because it happened to my ex
I surly wont be the next
so you say wanna live YOLO ,
the next place you'll go is a doctors office for herpes oooo
I hope you take this seriously
because STDs are a pernicious mystery
Be careful of who your dealing with
for it is like taking the risk of tipping off a cliff
before you get yourself into a mess ,
go to the doctors office and take an STD test
"It was just for fun"
It was just for fun
nothing wrong
at least that was what i thought
he said he loved me and that i could trust him not matter what
am i Believed him
so Slowly i fell
i fell
down hard
so deep into a pit of darkness
I was so blinded by his sweet words of empty nothingness
i didn't pay attention to where i was falling too
After it was done
After we had sex
I convinced myself it was alright
everything was fine
I used a condom
or so I thought
Something in me told me it was wrong
but i didn't listen
But just in case i went out
and bought a pregnancy test
And to my failure i was with child
i went to the doctor to see what i could do
and because of my stupidity
I also carried an STD
And because of me
My Baby
Will Have to Suffer with me
I buried my head in my face
Silently crying
“Oh Lord Save Me”
