some... I'd say somewhere between a few and many.

Very, very few. Most of those that frequently lead to fatal complications require many years to get to that point (i.e. even if a person contracts the illness during their teens, they aren't likely to die from it for years later). Examples: HIV, syphilis, HPV.
It is very uncommon for any of the other common STDs to cause lethal complications. Gonorrhea can, in very rare cases. Past that, I'm drawing a blank.

Im not sure, but STDs, the majority of them are not fatal. HIV is the only one that I can think of that is fatal, unless a bacterial infection leaves the area it began in and becomes systemic (throughout the whole body) Go see a doc

Figures aren't an issue, lets just say too many! Because you use
a condom, it can break with a power burst of sperm, the pill that
is not 100% risk of prego is useless 4 teens, eg. whoever he slept with you slept with & visa-vera. The best way to stay clean abstenane for your heath & sanity!
