Tyra’s Shocking Teen Sex Survey Findings

The Tyra Banks Show surveyed 10,000 girls from across the United States and the results were pretty shocking.  Here are some of the sobering findings:

• On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.
• 14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.
• 52 percent of survey respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.
• One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.
• 24 percent of teens with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.
• One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.
• About 50 percent acknowledge that they’ve hit someone.
• One out of three teens has tried drugs.

Can you believe this?!  As the mother of a 15-year-old girl, I’m pretty horrified!  Tyra was on the Today show where she talked about her own feelings after learning the results of her survey.  Watch the segment here:
