Science Class or Sex in the Bathroom?

This summer, when the Tyra Show posted a survey on sex, drugs and violence, more than 10,000 teen girls and young women were shockingly honest about what is really happening in their lives. And what they said will blow you away. What did the Young Women in Crisis survey results show?

More girls than ever are kissing other girls, becoming sexually active and actually trying to become teen mothers! What’s the result of all that risky business? The survey found that the average girl loses her virginity at 15 — and more than half of the teens having sex are doing so without protection! Many of them are even having sex at school. All that activity might explain why one in three girls said they were afraid they have an STD!

Sex, Drugs and Violence: What Are Teen Girls REALLY Doing? – The Tyra Banks Show

I’m not disagreeing that young girls are sexually active. But I am asking, “Where did they find these people?” Delivering the survey results on the Tyra Show today is a “real” 15-year-old girl who tells her story: she was 13 when she lost her virginity and has had 9 sexual partners since then. When this girls gets to school, her locker will be covered with “slut” and her 9-partner count will hit new highs. Instead of hyping her on TV, Tyra should take her and her parents to a shrink.

    About Me

    I love tween girls and their unjaded, I-can-do-anything attitude that can disappear the second pimples pop up on their noses. I've been a Secretary at Honeywell (remember them?), Treasurer of a Political Action Committee (I was way too young to take full advantage of all the fun I could have had with that one) and VP of Sales at USA TODAY. I loved all my careers, but the best one is the one I discovered in the second half of my life... Founder of AK Tweens and AllyKatzz.com, the safe social networking site for tween girls... and being crowned "Tween Girl Expert" because I get to be forever "12" minus the pimples.
