I think we should listen to them

I have watched "Let's Talk About Sex The Film Trailer" in Youtube and in it's official site (www.letstalkaboutsexthefilm.com). And I have just read the stats related to that film from view websites, "Every day in America, 10,000 teenagers catch an STD, 2,400 young girls become pregnant, and 55 young people are infected with HIV." Hugh Jackman says: "Whether you have children, teach children, or are around children at all, this movie is a must see."

It is also said: "Young people in America don't know the risks associated with sex, and because of that, American teen pregnancy and STD rates are among the highest in the industrialized world." And “Twenty-five thousand youth ages 13-24 are living with HIV, and the CDC estimates that one third of all new infections are among people's age 13-29. African-Americans/blacks and Latinos/ Hispanics accounted for 87 percent of all new HIV infections among 13 to 19-year-old even though they represent only about 32 percent of people those ages. Young men who have sex with men are at high risk: over 80 percent of HIV/AIDS cases among young men's age 13-19 are attributed to male-to-male sexual contact.”

Despite that I am not a religious person, those word speak a lot to my mind. I think we should listen to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC estimates more than 19 million new cases of Sexually Transmited Disease (STDs) each year in the United States. CDC says STDs have an economic impact: direct medical costs associated with STDs in the United States are estimated at $17.0 billion annually.
