I caught a headline today and curiously clicked on it after an episode of creative block. Tyra Banks did a survey of teenage girls and their sex practices. She was surprised at the results:
More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey over the summer on TyraShow.com, the Web site of “The Tyra Banks Show.” Survey questions focused on sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy, as well as drinking, drugs and violence among females. Here are some findings from the survey:
* 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.
The problems with this survey are as follows:
These are kids that watch the Tyra Banks show.

Hilarious. She’s a professional model who talks about sex on a pretty regular basis – what did she expect?
