Teenagers fail to use the necessary precautions to protect themselves against pregnancy & STD's. They have more sexual activity with a wider variety of people. In addition, adolescent women have different anatomy than older women; the columnar epithelium that is more prominent on the cervix makes it easier to catch an STD.
