Why are most African American women losing their virginity as teenagers?

I just need your opinion, because I have been asked this question and have found myself stuck to where I couldn't answer it. So if you could give me your opinion on this then maybe I could find the answer to give.Why are most African American women losing their virginity as teenagers?
honestly i dont think it matters if ur african american, white, latino, or purple. It seems that everybody is losing their virginity as a teen. Alot of people think that the age to have sex has gotten alot lower, when really most our grandparents, saved them selves for marriage, but were married with kids by the time they were 17. so really the only thing that has changed is people are having sex the same time, just getting married later.Why are most African American women losing their virginity as teenagers?
I think many teens - regardless of color/race are losing their virginity... Our culture and our world is constantly changing and if we stepped back and took a look at what our children watch compared to 10 years ago, we would realize that sex is becoming more mainstream for adults and teens. I wish everyone would wait until they're married - including myself, but it's impossible to force anyone to that.. luckily we all make our own decisions and we also live with the consequences...
A lot of teens are.


Most of the times the conversation between kids ends up with sex. ';I'd do this to her'; blah blah blah or ';I lost mine in 7th grade'; blah blah blah.





I think its really stupid, INCREDIBLY stupid that people my age and younger are running around having sex with anything on two legs.
This is not about color of the skin or ones race. This is about life-style or culture back ground.


It became natural that kids want to grow up fast or catch up what they see their parents or matured people do.


TV or rated pro grammes contributes. In Middle East and many parts of the world (Asia, North Africa...) based on their culture or religious back ground - its a great a shame to a girl parents or guardian if the girl losses a virginity before the first marriage, you will find parents will do anything to prevent this. However in the Western World this is forgotten and may be be its not something to be conscious about.
O.K. I'll stop.
coz at this time is when they dont want to listen to anybody they think they know everything and naively want to experience what they heard or seen from tv or internet.
Because their bored and followers and so is the mentality of if Jane is doing it why can't I?!? this is happening more in the Hispanic race because parents think that a 16 yr.old is an adult already and is old enough to have sex and I know of parental neighbors who drinks Coronas freely with their teens on the front/back porch,yard thinking it's COOL!!
the same reason white women are too.. just times are a changin..
Ok, dude that' I'm white and I find that question racist. THere are alot of owmen in Nort maerica losing hteir virginrity losign as teeangers and some them happen to be black, white, Asian, whatever. You couldn't place them as whoel THer'es your answer and go tell whoever said that, that his questions suck and so is damned prejucie and racist.
What Leona...So they have Sex when they are 10/11/12 ?? Lool x
Dont be narrow minded-be open minded because its not just African American-its hispanic and white as well. Girls get boy friends at all ages and when girls are teenagers they feel it time to engage in adult activity. Just look at it from the big picture!
i don't think it is only African American women- I think it is all women!





I am not sure the reason, maybe their parents didn't talk to them, maybe they come from a broken home. Everyone makes a decision based on their own personal reasons- it is hard to say why....
not me, I'm am a 21-year-old virgin and I am proud of that..so is my twin sister. My mom was a virgin when she got married and always instilled that in us...she is the reason and becuase of my religious background that I am waiting till marriage. So not all is like that, but most teenage girls (not just blacks) are which is pretty sad..look at jamie lynn spears...
In Africa a girl is considered a woman at a much earlier age then here in America. To them a 15 year old is ready for the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother. Their society completely different and is more focused on religious beliefs and a families will for survival rather than consumerism and Jamie Lynn Spear's pregnancy.
I think all women are, not just African-American ones...and a lot of girls are starting even before they're teenagers.
because most teenagers there are liberated! thats why...
Upbringing of every child in a decent manner is lacking in most families.Parents are to be blamed for this.That is singularly the most powerful reason for all this teen-agers losing their virginity at 12 to 15 ....black or white , all are equally responsible for this evil in our society.
that has nothing to do with race its all women
well first i think you should take race out of the issue because African American teenagers are NOT the only group of female losing their virginity as teenagers....There are other races of people losing their virginity as teenagers..it may jus be that many African American teenagers sexual experiences result in teenaged pregnancy... this should not be pinned on only one group of people..........WOMEN in general..may lose their virginity as teenagers because of peer pressure, rape, or just not being taught to wait.....
