okay this is my last message on this video. but i have to ask. at the end of this show that organisation. i would love to somehow become apart of that. what can i do to become i part of that. i think what they are doing is awesome!! great show!! THANK YOU TYRA
 
the rest of my comment below didnt finish =( im gonna finish it here when that guy is calling her ugly and saying that she isnt worth anything.. no he isnt even worth HER time!! i wish she had a friend there to tell her that. i think guys should find it attractive that girls wont lower there standards for them, because they respect themselves. girls need to not make it so easy for guys, maybe the guys would learn to start having respect if SOME,, NOT ALL girls would not allow guys to treat them like that. us girls need to not tease boys and stick together and be there for eachother!! i am not saying what the boys do is right AT ALL.. but i am saying, that sometimes girls make it hard for them. if we start to respect ourselves and dress more appropriatly, and not let guys walk all over us. guys would be forced to be more respectful
 
i am watching this show right now. i recorded it. arian. i feel so bad for her!! my best friend lost her virginity at 11 and got pregnant at 13. at 3 months she lost the baby. i actually think it was a blessing in disguise. i am 15 and i am still a virgin. i am christian, so i think marriage should be saved till marriage. but that isnt the case for all people. i dont judge them. i have many friends who are sexually active. i feel bad. because so many girls are getting lied to because we all want to feel loved, and wanted, and even me, girls look for security in guys. i think it would be really important to maybe do an episode on how teen girls, actually ALL girls are so beautiful without a guy. and i have learned by my mom (who by the way had sex before marriage, i am the only virgin in my family who waited, besides one of my sisters that is married now) i have learned from my moms pain of going through a divorce and being re-married, if a guy says he loves you but is forcing you to have sex, he doesnt love you. if he loves you he will want you to feel so comfortable and want to respect you. a guy who loves you should treat you with the utmost respect and care. every girl deserves that. the guy who loves you should wait as long as it takes for you. so many girls lower their standards just to be "loved" and after that they dont feel loved once the guy hits it and quits it. my heart goes out to those girls. just like Arian, when that guy is calling her ugly and
 
hey tyra, im 14 and i love your show...and when i was watching the show with the group of girls who were having sex, i almost lost it. i cant believe these girls are only a year to two years older then i am and there having sex. now im not trying to be mean but thats just wrong!! i'm proud to still have my V-card and im planning on waiting to have sex...ive got way to much to do and so many things i wanna do...but i cant control what other girls do, and it doesnt change the kind of person they are inside:)
 
well ima a teen im 14 and my mama dont snoop on me she want me to have some private time..i mean i dont do nothing but ion think its good to snoop on us teenage girl.
 
hey tyra, im fifteen years old and my mom is never there for me and i act out because of that not in a harmful way to other people and i act like a proper young laddie. i make straight A's and i am a good volleyball and track runner i do every thing i am supose to but i had sex with my boyfriend a month before my 15th birthday and i havent stopped since. all with the same guy but i feel like i need love from some one and i need enough love to take place for the love my mom dose not give me, if my mom loved me more or spent time with me i dont really care if she snoops some times but i do agree that some of these mothers that were on your show went to far but the girl who sneeks out and gives her mom reasons to snoop needs to just think about how her mom loves her and is just trying to keep her safe because some people dont get that much love.
 
Hey Tyra..I love your show..and this is my favorite episode...its a good episode and it makes me think twice. I think teens should use protection if they are going to have sex. Thanks for this episode and much love to you.
 
Watching your show and hearing the experiences that those girls have gone through, is nothing new to me. It worried me why you were so surprised, Don't get me wrong...they were all horrible stories, but its "the norm" in today's society. I'm 19, will be 20 in a few weeks....I lost my virginity at the age of 15...with my childhood friend (which totally ruined our friendship). I later got into a relationship with a guy my senior year (I had just turned 17, he was 21) he was older, gorgeous, had a good career...things got heated one night and i ended up sleeping with him, unprotected. We continued to sleep with one another, sometime we used protection, sometimes we didn't. I ended up getting into trouble with him...for the rest of my sr. year I wasnt allowed to talk to him..i graduated in june and the night after i met up with him and we got back together...we started sleeping together again and things started getting serious...3 months later...we slept together and the morning after...I knew something was wrong. My body started to shut down, 2 wks later, I couldnt take the pain down there, or the body aching and migraines...I had already diagnosed myself and when I went to the doctor...I was right. When I told him, he said I got it from someone else...but knowing him and his personality..i knew why he was saying that. He asked me to promise i wouldnt tell anyone and he wouldnt either...he didnt want me to use my insurance so my parents wouldnt find out...to make an entirely long story short...i was in debt up to my ears and only 18 years old. Out of about 1,500..he gave me around $300 total...leaving me to pay the rest. Thats not including medications and
 
I REALLY LOVE YOUR SHOW!... I WAS 16 WHEN I FIST LOST MY VIRGINITY I DINT EVEN LIKE THE GUY LIKE THAT BUT HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE ..I WAS SAD THO CUZ I FELT LIKE IT WAS A HIT AND QUIT ..AND SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT HIM AND IT HURTS THAT HE ONLY CALLS OR TEXTS WEN HE WANTS TO HAVE SEX..UGH=(
 
i just want to say that i really love your show, i learn so much about life and what we go through as women. Thank u for keeping your show on and goin strong with it. Also keeping it real.
 
Hi Tyra, I'm really glad you up these issues on shows. I'm 17, I'll be 18 soon. I've been dating the same guy for 2 1/2 years. We haven't had sex, and we both agree on this. I wish more teens would see it like we do, but they do what they want. Thank you for showing everything that comes along with it, and please continue.
 
I was watching this in shock! I could not believe that the girls on the show had lost there virginity so young. I am 19 and I am proud to sill be a virgin. In my college close group of friends we talk about things like this all the time. Out of the group of seven, three of us are still virgins. I have friends who wished they could take it back, saying they wished they had waited for the right guy or till they were older. There is a lot of pressure out there from peers and from boys. And if your boyfriend is not willing to wait till you are ready then hes not worth it.
 
Hi Tyra, im a teen my self.I'm only 15. My life is not easy an I have made plenty mistakes. I am not a virin anymore, but I wish I was everyday. I know I can't go back an change it.And I know it is my falt.But somethings that happen can't be redone.It's hard to do things on your own like alot of people these days.My mom an dad are in jail an I am raising my two little brothers and my new boyfreinds daughter. It's not easy an not everyone has alot of choices! Like me, I don't have family because we are my moms kids. My point is that some teens have alot of choices with thier lives an some don't have as many as others.Well, I love your show and you!!
 
ive had chlymidia twice. in my teens i stupidly trusted these couple of guys. one of whom was my boyfriend who i later found out was cheating on me with any girl he could find. i guess i had my suspicions but i was blinded by love. foolish isnt it. this was the same guy who got me pregant twice, and told me that i knew what i had to do. it makes me sick to my stomach now, but i was young and not ready for children. then, i was mad at him for cheating on me with a girl who apparently had herpes. i was mad and i called this girl, asked her if it was true, he and he both denied it. i broke up with him and got into a relationship with someone else because i was mad. turned out the guy i started dating had herpes simplex type 1. he gave it to me thru oral sex. i regret every day breaking up with my previous boyfriend. he meant and still means the world to me(we were together 6 years). i would give my life for him, and hate myself everyday for leaving him because i was mad at him for cheating and lying. id rather be with him and deal with that than have herpes.
 
Hi Tyra, A is Hannah and I am 17 years old. To begin, I'd just like to say that I am very happy that you do shows that address teen issues. Teens, parents and others need to be aware of what is going on today in the worlds of some teens. But parents and others should not generalize and ASSUME that all teenagers are having sex, doing drugs and getting into trouble. Yes, some are, but others are not and it frusterates me greatly when older people who are not teens look at teenagers and judge them simply based on their age. People jugde the whole of teenagers upon the actions of a specific group of teenagers and this is unfair and an act of discrimination. As for the subject of teenagers having sex so young, especially at the tender age of 13, I am appalled that some people think this is okay and that it has become so common that people are used to it and indifferent to the fact. If someone really has true love for their partner then they should be able and willing to wait it out until they are older to have sex. You should only have sex with someone when you love eachother uncontrollably and have proven yourselves to eachother through actions and years, and you are mature, not young innocent preteens. These are just simply my views at the present time. Thankyou Tyra
