According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adolescents have the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) compared to all other age groups. This is likely due to factors such as sexual experimentation, lack of access to healthcare, and incomplete sex education. While other choices such as criminal behavior and sexual experimentation may also occur at higher rates among adolescents than other age groups, the highest rate is specifically in relation to STDs. Asthma and severe seasonal allergies are not typically associated with higher rates among adolescents compared to other age groups.
