I think that blaming tv shows is unfair. I dont think its influencing people to have sex or get pregnant. I think that when some people get into situations they're not proud of its always easier to blame it on something else so your not to blame and thats what i think some people are doing. I am 17 years old and these shows havent influenced me negativly.
 
Hi my name is danielle and i am 14 yrs old. And some people may say that tv shows really influence sex and sexual activity that is some what true but not. If your raised in a good environment then you know better. But if your poorly raised and dont feel real good about your self then you will be easily fooled into having sex and possiby getting pregnate.
 
Can we really say that media such as television and its sexy shows make girls more likely to become pregnant? No. But I think it is fair to say that it can have a major influence on a woman's, whether younger or older, psychological perception on issues such as relationships and sex. Soap Operas are perfect examples of such TV shows that may send messages about love, deceit, sex and much more, but we have to be roll models for our young women who might not have had someone there as positive motivators. When you sit back and look at the problem with "Babies Having Babies" it all boils down to the individuals power to overcome influence and those who help inpregnate------which most likely have the strongest influence of all. We would have to re-evaluate our mass communications systems if we had to blame our mistakes on a simple medium.
 
I really think its unfair to blame TV shows for teen pregnancy. We learn about sex in school, from friends, and from our parents. If all else fails, we at least have common sense. Maybe its just me. I mean, I've always been able to watch whatever I wanted and I admit that what teens do on TV shows looks fun and makes me want to do it. At the same time I think about what I would be risking. I think about how I could remain smart in situations. Some people say parents don't educate their children. I believe that if we really want to know something, we will search for it. Whether it be asking an adult, a friend, or searching it online. In any event we all have the common sense to be safe and smart when partying or having sex. Its more of a matter of wanting to be rebellious, fit in, or making bad choices.
 
I was allowed to watch what I wanted and listen to whatever music I decided I liked. I was allowed to dye my hair and express myself in any manner I choose within reason. My mother let me be me but she, at the same time, gave me the tools to make reasonable and fairly good decisions. She taught me about stds and how I'd miss out on a lot of things if I got pregnant very young. I made the choice not to have sex until I was 18 and in love and even then that ended badly. Waiting until you're married seems unreasonable to me but waiting until you feel ready and are strong enough to look into the boy you're crushing ons eyes and say, "no glove, no love."

Teenagers blaming TV shows on their poor judgement to get pregnant at a young age is just a bad excuse. I'm 16 years old and I watch all the "scandelous" shows on TV also, yet I'm still a virgin and don't see that as a convincing factor to provoke me to having sex. When I saw the girls on your show stating that television shows are a big portion of fault for their behavior just made me laugh. No sweety, you made the wrong choice and if anything I could see friends or boyfriends as a bigger influence. A lot of girls get talked into having sex by their boyfriends when they're not ready in fear of losing them. I could even understand not having any negative influences from friends or boyfriends, but just personal choice. Yet that doesn't mean you could start blaming the media for completely influencing you on your decision. My personal opinion is that these girls know that they've done wrong getting pregnant at a young age and regret it so they use these child-like excuses to get themselves out of as much trouble for their actions. I'm sorry Tyra but I just saw these girls as wanting to sugarcoat their situation and make you have pity apon them, which I just find pathetic to say the least. P.S. I watch every single eposide of your show and your truely a bright, beautiful, and inspiring person. Keep up the good work ! (:
 
Let's not ignore the obvious: teenagers have an onslaught of sexual hormones AND the judgement of children. Without intense instruction on how to avoid getting pregnant, teenagers will continue to get pregnant on droves. Abstinence-only education is absurd. We can't deny that the human animal's most fertile years start in teenage. So this will always be an uphill battle. Regarding television: sexy tv makes everyone more fertile, not just teenagers. Sex, even tv sex, from a biological perspective, encourages more sex. While watching sexy tv or even talking about sex, we release Oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that creates and furthers sexual desire and fertility. All "moral" arguments aside, we can't deny biology.
 
i dont think that tv has an impact on a girl getting pregnent. but i guess it does depend on how you are raised and your maturity level. im 14 and i known darn well im not getting pregnent early. in my family education first relationships later. i think my mom raised me well enough to know that yea some tv shows have "freaky" scenes but its just tv. in life you make your own decisions. when you become an adult all of your wrong decisions cant be put on someone else because you still have the consequences. even if your parents dont teach you about not having sex nd getting pregnent early, you have to think for your own. your parents dont teach you everything in life. its really up to you to make the final decision. so even if tv glamourizes it dont mean follow it. be your own person nd make the decisions you think is right. if i become overweight im not going to blame commercial ads for making food look so delicious i just had to get me a ruby tuesdays burger. sometimes you have to accept the decision you made and not blame anybody but yourself.
 
I don't think that those sexy shows make girls want to have children or have sex. It may make the idea more prominent versus not watching them, but it is their choice ultimately wether or not happens and blaming it on a television show is just an excuse.
 
I DON'T THINK SEXY SHOWS MAKE YOUNG GIRLS WANT TO HAVE A BABY THATS CRAZY!! SOME GIRLS I THINK MISSED OUT ON THEIR CHILDHOOD WITH THEIR PARENTS, EITHER NO MOTHER OR FATHER AND JUST WANT SOMEONE TO CALL THEIR OWN. THATS JUST MY OPINION THOUGH........
 
i d0nt think that TV shows influence teens in their actions, they choose what they do and don't do..I'm a 17yr old mommy,and i take full responsibility for my actions,it was up to me if i wanted to or not.so i think that teens should stop trying to blame TV for their own mistakes..
 
i definately dont think a sexy show influince young girls ideas about sex but its you choice if you wrap it up or not. it also have to do with how a peson is raised some mothers are too sexy.
 
PARENTS NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR KID'S BEHAVIOR!!!!!!!! ITS THE PARENTS JOB TO RAISE THEIR KIDS!!!! ITS THE PARENTS JOB TO TEACH YOUR CHILD "RIGHT" FROM "WRONG" AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR LIFE WILL BE JUST AS FULFILLING WITH OR WITHOUT MATERIAL THINGS AND SEX!!!! If you don't take the time to teach your kids guess who will show them what they can have??? THE MEDIA! It's been glorifying negative images since the 50's! WAKE UP THIS IS NOTHING NEW!!!!
