Teens and Parents Sex Summit

No questions unanswered, no topics untouched!

As the shocking results from Tyra's online survey about teens and sex are revealed, Tyra talks to a handful of teens and parents in a no-holds-barred discussion.

Al B: Feelin' Some Kinda Way... About Communication

After watching the conflict between Chris Brown and Rhianna from afar, and participating in a panel discussion on domestic violence up-close, several things are evident; many young adults are unable to effectively communicate their feelings, and that lack of emotional articulation can contribute to emotional, verbal and physical abuse in a relationship. It's not all your fault though -- your would-be role models did not pass on these skills, because too many of our elders lack the ability to communicate themselves.

How do emotional awareness and communication contribute to domestic abuse? Some forms of abuse (clearly not all) occur simply because a partner wants it to be known that their feelings have been hurt for whatever reason. The inability 1) to identify internally how and why the emotional trauma occurred, and 2) to be able to fully articulate those how's and why's to the person responsible, results in a combustible combination of fear, pain and frustration that builds to the point that it can manifest itself outwardly as abuse.

Instead of saying "what you did/said really hurt my feelings because..." the hurt party lashes out to inflict more pain/hurt back at their partner by picking an argument, hurling insults or physically attacking them. What's worse, is that since the emotions and trauma are not accurately identified and articulated the issue is never settled and though the abusive moment may pass -- it is not resolved and just sits there right below the surface where the smallest scratch can bring it all pouring out again. Once it repeats, you are now in an abusive relationship and this type of abuse victimizes women and men alike and is also prevalent with teenagers and young adults.

So how does one reach a heightened level of emotional awareness and articulation?

Exorcisms on Gay Teens!

In this heartbreaking hour, Tyra speaks with a 16-year-old who claims he is no longer a cross-dresser or homosexual after participating in an exorcism.
