You get them when you dont use a condom. So always use one.

STDs can happen to ANYONE who is sexually active... at any age, any gender. It's just more emphasized on teenagers since they are considered not fully developed mentally and physically I guess? Well, obviously not since they are having sex... Anyways, it's more stressed when it comes to teenagers because they don't know how to handle the responsibilities or face the consequences.

How to Protect Yourself from STDs:

The factors listed in the box increase the risk of an STD. Adolescents have a higher risk, and lifestyle factors also can play a role. There are many ways you can reduce your risk of getting an STD:

-Know your sexual partners and limit their number—Your partner's sexual history is as important as your own. The more partners you or your partners have, the higher your risk of getting an STD.

-Use a latex condom—Using a latex condom every time you have vaginal, oral, or anal sex decreases the chances of infection.
Condoms lubricated with spermicides do not offer extra protection. -Frequent use of some spermicides can increase the risk of HIV.

-Avoid risky sex practices—Sexual acts that tear or break the skin carry a higher risk of STDs. Even small cuts that do not bleed let germs pass back and forth. Anal sex poses a high risk because tissues in the rectum break easily. Body fluids also can carry STDs. Having any unprotected sexual contact with an infected person poses a high risk of getting an STD.

-Get immunized—Vaccinations are available that will help prevent hepatitis B and HPV.

well duh it could happen to adults. just usually, it doesn't, because they're already married and don't go sleeping around with others.
