People who are less talented but beautiful can have the same impact. Shots of beautiful people can circulate and make them into overnight sensations. Particularly with teenagers, who are still developing social skills, such overwhelming attention can lead to bad choices.

Protecting Yourself

No one is going to stop the young men and women of the tribe (or even the older members) from gathering around the fire and meeting up for fun. Social media is here to stay, and as long as people are interested in sex, the social communications of online will lead to real-world meetups and some intimate connections.

Thus, it’s wise to emphasize the things that can help protect against sexually transmitted diseases. The best protection, although not the most foolproof – wear a condom. This not only lessens the chance of pregnancy, but also can provide protection against STDs. Keep in mind that condoms can tear or break, and latex can't stop every form of STD.

Some of the most common STDs and their prevention:

Herpes

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases. The disease is two strains of a virus that can produce painful, recurring genital or anal lesions that can be transmitted to others by oral or genital contact.

About one in every six people from age 14 to 49 years old has genital herpes, but it can be acquired at any age. Itching or pain that occurs between two and 10 days after exposure to an infected person yield to small red bumps or white blisters. Then ulcers can occur when the initial bumps or blisters start oozing or bleeding, eventually forming scabs when the healing process begins.
