The Truth About The Numbers

Any of you who may be interested in the startling statistic that came out in early March that said 1 in 4 teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease, listen up.

The numbers were wrong, and the National Journal magazine explains why.

This is why I question everything. My undergraduate mass communication law professor told me, "Never believe anything you read."

Basically, make sure you question everything. Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's true.
This STD statistic was particularly disturbing, and now we can know more thanks to the National Journal.
