Tyra Banks and 10,000 women

Tyra Banks, supermodel and talk show hostess has been doing some research and oh boy, are the results scary.

She had an anonymous survey on her website this summer and over 10,000 teenage girls and young women responded.

I don’t think this was a particularly scientific study – I can’t find a copy of the actual study – and the respondents were all viewers of her show. I am not sure of the demographics, but I do know that her show is watched by women aged 18 to 34.

Regardless, it’s pretty shocking, what these girls are up to in terms of their sexual activity – like having sex at 15 and at school!

If you go to the link below, you can read some of the comments from some of the girls.

And here’s a recap of an interview with Tyra on the TODAY show.
