Hey, Tyra! This has definitely been one of the most unforgettable topics that you have done. I was glued to the television waiting to hear what these girls had to say. I’m currently eighteen years old. Growing up, a lot of this did not happen with my age group. Perhaps it didn’t happen in my community/town, but I definitely rarely heard of such things. I do not understand why these girls are growing up so fast. And to think that they continued to participate in sexual relations even after they had been diagnosed is disturbing! On top of everything else, pregnancy at such a young age can ruin so many things. There is so much to live for and learn for yourself before you have any children. I wish that there was a way to diminish these now routine actions by teens. Love.

Tyra I am a teen, I am 15yr old girl, I will be 16 this fall. My parents give me everything and I am expected to be the best that I can be. It upsets me when other teens say that they are practically appalled when other teens say that aren't virgins, or when they judge other girls for not being virgins. Most of the time when someone is judging they do not know the circumstances as to which the persons virginity was lost. In my case I lost it when I was 8, I was molested and at the time I felt like there was nothing I could do. I was raped until I was 9. Eventually I told my parents, but it was way to late. I was raped again as teen because I was a party girl during the summer b/c it helped me relieve stress. I am know no longer partying like I did before. I am an honors student with dreams to be a criminal justice lawyer or a cardiologist. I think that just because someone lost their virginity doesn't meant that their parents didn't raise them right, or that they are a bad person. I think people should ask questions before they judge.

Hello, I just wanted to comment after seeing this episode. I am 44 yo and although I find it good that the Tyra Show is presenting the stories and experiences of teen age girls I am sort of dismayed by some of the lack of character and expertise from Tyra. I feel most talk shows that take on heavy issues usually invite a professional to talk. One of Tyra's comments was particularily astounding to me ... when she looked at the 16 to 17 year olds on the panel and said they looked like 10 year olds and then said " they are babies!" Well no they are not babies they are young women, teenagers on the cusp of girlhood and womanhood. There is a tremendous amount of powerful sexual energy they will possible experience at that age that would never happen at 10 and to not acknowledge that is a disservice to them. I also feel Trya does not seem to differentiate between the experiences shared that are abuse and manipulation (perhaps even rape) and those that are free willed choices...and I think to talk to them like babies is part of the problem. They need help and understanding and that she does present well. Also I felt she talked to them sometimes as if they are the problem. When I think part of the problem is not acknowledging that they are maturing and need guidance and support, in affect expecting them to act like babies even during puberty it just doesn't work like that, and this is still a very messed up and patriarchal society. I guess I think Trya's approach is extremely status quo. And I feel that's too bad because as the teens showed there is a real need for dialogue and help.

Hey Tyra, I'm Sarah, and i am a fifteen year old teenager. I would never even think of doing such things, no matter how stressful my life would get. I'm not judging any of these girls, but i just think they all took the wrong turn in their lives. I am still a virgin of course, and planning to be until marriage. I'm so happy that you took the time on your show to help these teens who have taken the wrong turn in their lives and have made several bad decisions. You are a great role model to all teenagers, women, and even men! Most people in this industry don't think the same way you do, and make bad decisions with their own lives.I'm so happy you invited these teens to help them through all this! You are so great!

Hello Tyra, As I have experience situations in my life I feel it is good to be informative. I'm a mother of two teen-agers and speak very openly with my children about sex, drugs, and any other questions that may come up. Noone is ever TOO old or TOO young to be told the importance of protection. When their school offered an abstence first class I gladly allowed them to take it. This year we were told that their grandmother who had only had two partners(that we were aware of) has been diagnosed with HIV which she got from her current husband. After finding her current husband in an uncompromising position she left him for approximently 1 month but decided to return with the disease. We(family) have told her in serveral occassions that we are there for her but she has refused our help, our connection as a family, and our shoulders to cry on. I have openly informed my children and no detail left untold that has been said about the situation! Since she has returned she has gone from the BEST GRANDMOTHER to the WORST. She had even started texting my children while she was seperated to keep connected. We do not know whether she lied about her situation to return because she did not have the odasity to let anyone know what was going on. She has cut off so much contact from her family. She has since then missed on attending her mother's 78th birthday. My husband contacted her for her birthday but she had no guts to wish her 2-only sons a Happy Father's day. My husband and I believe everyday, every moment, and anytime is learning time. Since we became parents we believe everyone who is a parent should be as open and mature

Hi Tyra, I am 14 years old and was very inspired and shocked at what I saw on Thursday's episode about teen sex. I am still a virgin at 14 years old and I am very inspired to stay that way until after marraige. I know that your teen years are supposed to be expemental, but it is not worth just trying to be like everyone else. Most of the girls in my grade say that they have sex all the time and are shocked by me being a virgin, but popularity is not worth getting and STD or pregnant. Watching yuor show I think puts a lot of things into perspective for young girls. The things that you can get from having sex so young is very scary. Thank you for giving us teens the imformation we need to understand the effects of having sex at a young age. Love You!

its only after we confess our sins and also be thankful for GOD for our lives that we can make progress.progress is not just being number 1(ONE) or perfect without wrongs. TAMBUA VILLAGE(tv), HAMISI(vihiga),KENYA.

This show broke my heart. I am a teen myself, 15 years old. I have never done any sexual activity, drugs, or girl on girl violence. These girls need to know that doing what they do does not only affect them, but everyone else around them. Don't they know the effects that all of this will have on them self in the future? It will eventually sink in.

Tyra, I was really inspired by the Teen Sex, and how those girls shared they're stories. The way that you discussed every thing that you possibly could, made me have a different point of view on a lot of things. Like, how girls say it's so bad for her to be pregnant, and she shouldn't be pregnant, but when she has the baby we all say, "Aww!". That doesn't make it right, and I never looked at it that way. My friend had a baby at the age of 15, and I see how hard it can be. Girls should be more aware of sex before they do it, and not let boys pressure them into it. It's unrealistic in this generation to not have sex until marriage, but girls are just falling to pressure. I know some kids in FOURTH grade having sex. And our high school sex education class, our teacher said, "Have sex right now while your young". She told the class that without covering anything else, how STD's can be transmitted, what precauations you should take, nothing. I admire you for taking the time to do that, and the girls that are the leaders for teen sex that were guests.

When I was a teen I had a lot of sex. Lost my virginity at 14 and by the time I was 18 I have been with over 70 men. I did try marijuana and did drink. So I totally related to these teens. When I was 17 I was told I had chlymidia. That was a HUGE wake up call. As far as teen pregnancy goes. My friend in High School got pregnant at 16. That was hard for her. I got pregnant while I was in Iraq at 19 and my boyfriend planned it without my knowledge. So the girl that was 8 1/2 months pregnant told her story it was similar to mine. I guess it really doens't matter if your a teen or not there will be those problems, but teens need to be educated more. If they are like how I was their day will come to wake up.

Hi Tyra, I've been watching this episode about teen sex and I really feel that a lot of the involvement that teen girls are getting into at such a young age has a lot to do with pressure from the boy or boys that they are having sex with. Throughout high school I dated 4 different boys: each and every one of them put tremendous pressure on me to have sex with them in different ways. Not only do they actually pressure you or try and push you to do it, but they also seem to cause many girls to lower their self-esteem - something that girls think can be raised by having sex. And at such a young age, teen girls want the attention, and are not always strong enough to resist the pressures, especially when the boys are physically trying to lead you into it by getting you "into the moment". I've had a boyfriend cuss me out before and another try to "blackmail" me with false information toward the end of our relationships for not wanting to have sex with them. These pressures are almost guaranteed to cross every girl's path through high school whether they go looking for them or not, and I feel that it's a very absurd reality.

this is the best safe song called rap it up trya i think you should listen www.myspace.com/lilripmusic there unsigned the song is great an every teen should hear it its called rap it up please go listen. thanks god bless

Hi tyra! I just got done watching your show on teen sex. I lived in houston tx for 13 years, and my parents and i moved to laredo tx summer of '07. I was going through so much..moving schools, trying to make new friends..it was hard for me. Well i started having sex at the age of 13 to try to get boys in myy school to likee me. I later on realized that, that wasnt such a good idea. Every guy that i dated was only with me to have sex, they didnt even take me serious anymore. When i was having sex with these guys i was being careful, talking care of myself making sure they used condoms. After a while i started having unprotected sex and i stared drinking and doing drugs. Well my freshman year i was pressured into taking a pill and i was raped in my own house. I wanted to keep it from my mother knowing that it wasnt the best thing to do. Eventually she found out and took me to get checked. Thankfully i wasnt pregnate or had any kind of STD. I know want to make sure i am making the right choice when it comes to having sex. Help me!!!

Hey Tyra! Im 17! i really wanted to take your survey! Is there a why that i can do that!?
