Cure--A good dose of chastity education

I was browsing CNN's website and found this atrociously disturbing article.  There was a study done that found that 1 in 4 teenage girls (in the US?) has and STD.  I know there are some ways to contract STDs other than sexual behavior, but that does not explain the findings of this study.  The teenage population, male and female alike, need a good dose of chastity education.  Pope John Paul II devoted a lot of time to defining chastity and sexuality through his Theology of the Body.  Although it explains chastity and sexuality through a Catholic lens, much of it can be applied in a secular way.  For an easier to understand version of the Theology of the Body, check out publications by Christopher West.
