  • omg

  • Richard!

  • @HPfan75 Yeah but how do you know whether they are virgins or not? They could say anything.

  • And this loves to portray the British working class as stupid and promiscuous.

  • @Camponhoyle Maybe not stupid, but they do lack sex education, or something else is wrong in the UK, since the UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe. However, the US has around a third higher rate of pregnancy in teenagers than the UK does.

  • Hate to say it TYT but you do know that the Mail is almost as bad as fox news.

  • this is just an excuse to say that "ghetto" people are sluts. -.-

  • Education? Ha! The main reason why poor kids are more likely to have sex earlier is b/c less money means less going out, and if they do it will be b/c their dates pay for it. Whether they are forced to find things to occupy themselves with at home, or b/c they are with "partners with expectations," either one is going to lead to a higher sex rate. Not to mention many poor children lack at least one strong parental figure and seek to fill the void in their life any way they can, usually with sex.

  • @hpfan75 You know what "on average" means right? Most of the kids I grew up with had sex around 12 or 13.

  • @bigveeayking That's sad :/ The keyword in that sentence is: "Kids"...

  • This story comes from England? I'm not suprised....

  • wtf????? 17?

  • 1 word. HELL!!!

  • I have never heard of cervical cancer... so wtf does "more likely" mean? instead of 1/100,000,000 its 2/100,000,000?

  • Not exactly true, depends on the family support system. Poor girls get pregnant

    quicker because they are less likely to use birthcontrol and condoms whereas

    middleclass mothers take their daughters to the doctor and have them started

    on BCP's. Same with alcohol, upper class actually have alcohol in home and offer

    it to their children. Look at the underage drinking parties in the suburbs.

  • nhs stands for national health service so thats the public sector here i imagine they would be able to get a private screen for it but its poor people so not really

  • Social class only plays a very and i say very small part in having sex at an early age, it's the curiosity of young boys and girls that find it to be "cool" too have sex early. Its all part of growing up its not how rich you are or how poor you are that determines if you have sex. My mother works just like any other and taught me very well the bad things about having sex. But i still at 14 me and this girl decided to have sex in a pool one day. its all about what that teen decides not the parent

  • @FistfulofDicks - people like you are extremely iggnorant, girls want to have sex just as bad as boys do, and the social level and finance of the kids doesnt matter ALL kids are curious and thinking about sex not just the lower class. your just a shitty person

  • it's nothin to do with education really, or their parents or whatever... it's something to do and makes them feel special... rich kids feel special all the time

  • poor girls are awwwwwww right

  • @WeaponZero666 sooo fucked up lol

  • not surprising. not only are poor kids less educated about sex, but they can't afford cable or Xboxes so there's not much else to do for fun.

  • ben is the man. stop hatin

  • @TheMattTrivium WTF? Cenk and Ana are the best. You troll. Cenk is good on politics.

  • @gta4kings cuz there is so many things that can go wrong

  • Boy not by lol

  • I'm a 14 year old by and scared out of my mind about sex.

  • You've got to know about the daily mail. Everything causes cancer according to them. If there isn't a article about causing cancer it's what can cure cancer

  • Thats kinda funny you talking about the NHS everyone in britian has the NHS we invented it you fools its you who dont have free healthcover all america.

  • Sex-Education earlier I totally agree with. At school, I learned the basics of sex and the consequences that come with it in 4th grade, and it wasn't until later I learned about it more from my parents and 7th grade science class.

  • that fat dude is sooo Annoying

  • rich do the same thing poor kids do so they do the same thing every one else do. it dont matter if u poor or rich they still going to have sex under pressure or trying to be a follower

  • rich do the same thing poor kids do so they do the same thing every one else do. it dont matter if u poor or rich they srill going to have sex under pressure or trying to be a follower

  • @Kbell205 Yes.

  • Sorry it's not about Sex education, it's about keeping track of your kids. Poor kids go to parties hang out all night. Rich kids get picked up at school do their home work and are sent to bed at 9-10 pm.

  • fck this two idiots talk a lot of shit

  • I AGREE EDUCATION IS THE BASICS AND THE BACKGROUND OF EVERY ONES PROBLEMS IN AMERICA .I PERSONALLY BELEIVE THAT PEOPLE IN GENERAL SHOULD WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE FOR SEX BECAUSE IF THEY FOLLOW THIS GOAL STRUCTURE THEY WILL COMPLETE COLLEGE GET A PROFESSIONAL CAREER THAT IS HIGH PAYING AND THEN FOCUS ON A STABLE RELATIONSHIP ONCE ALL THEIR EDUCATION IS COMPLETED AND SOME MONEY IS SAVED.

  • @robinsmart08 grow up, get educated and make a career all b4 having a REAL relationship??? now who wants to wait till they are 40 to have a lil fun?! i sure as hell don't :)

  • @robinsmart08 come to where i live...

  • stop lookin at your macbook, and he talks as if he knows everything... the way he sounds... jeez....

  • poor girls have sex earlier cuz they're in the ghetto with all the brown people

  • @UrngLemon fuck u, u racist dick

  • @bonly3 fuck u, u passive pussy

  • @UrngLemon eat a dick u cock sucking bitch u racist fagit

  • @bonly3 NICE CUMBACK!

  • @UrngLemon thanks, u over devopled cumshot

  • @bonly3 thanks, u quickshot

  • @UrngLemon fuck off u white middle class ass eating hoe

  • @bonly3 did i ever say i was white?

  • @UrngLemon no but seeing how u hate Niggers, Pakis, jews, frenchcandians, mexicans, and the ducth i assume only a ingroit white person would say something like that

  • @bonly3 then you yourself are "ingroit" which i must assume is dutch for ignorant

  • @UrngLemon so i cant spell so what im still in high school and i have a limited voc . and im not dutch cunt and black and white u jackass

  • @bonly3 i see, so you're in highschool and can't spell ignorant? i guess that makes you the ignorant one

  • @UrngLemon y r we fighting, cuz i forgot

  • @bonly3 aint worth repeatin

  • @UrngLemon oh well

  • @bonly3 hahaha you are in high school?? ahaha CLEARLY you have a limited vocabulary.

  • @kurtywurty85 you got a promblem with that

  • @bonly3 No. I don't have a promblem. Most likely because I don't know what a "promblem" is.

  • @kurtywurty85 oh so i miss spelled the word problem get off my dick

  • One of the things they didn't take into consideration is that poorer kids tend to be latch key kids and are at home with no parental supervision after school.

  • the virus that causes cancer is contracted from contact with semen, it doesnt have anything to do with age, it's juust that young people are more likely to have unprotected sex . if you have unprotected sex you put yourself at risk....but also women trying to get pregnant can be at serious risk too. nobody mentions this but it's something to bear in mind. bottom line is feel free to have sex when you are ready, just stay safe, use a condom and you'll be ok.

  • One of the main reasons I would imagine is that participation in activities is positively associated with family income level. You are less likely to have sex if you don't have a bunch of free time.

  • dayyyum you have over 6k vids

  • ITS CALLED A CONDOM! But just because you reach 18 years old diesnt make u imune to std's!

  • is the more stupid and more absurd stadistical of all.

    of course is true, so like is true are more poor people that rich, come one 1 rich people for each 1000 poor. obius then

  • this guy needs to die...

  • another argument in favour of vaccinating girls who hit puberty with gardasil right away.

  • Obviously they're referring to chavs.

  • Ben didn't make any connection between being poor and what kind of sex education a girl receives, did he?

  • he's really got stop using the word evildoers, jesus christ

  • Sarah Palin's family has got to be poor.

  • Dumass.

  • It's the differences of family structure between the rich and poor. The poor don't generally have a good support system at home. There's no one there to parental presence to lay some type of guidelines. Rich families tend to be more goal oriented. Parents are very persistent in showing how important college is, gettin pregnant? Virtually unacceptable.

  • And rich people are fearful of society and carry "what would other think" phenomenon too.

  • @415jdookie not always

  • @415jdookie it has nothing to do with rich or poor..... it has to with how your raised period.

  • @415jdookie I don't think thats true.Rich girls are spoiled and usually tend "stuff"...

  • I think that poor girls have to keep up with their peers. Additionally, they have no knowledge about sex. That's where the expression "babies having babies" comes from.

  • lolz, "I shoulda been hooken up with poor kids"

  • I don't think Ben knows that British education is given to all students pre-university for free. So most women around the age mentioned (15) would probably have had sex education before at least once.

    I'm curious as to why that statistic would be correct, but I don't think sex ed is the reason. Anyone have any other ideas as to why poorer girls would have sex at ana earlier age?

  • i should start hanging out with poor girls...get some tail haha

  • @flashbak2theyayo creeping on trashy girls? you sound like mike from jersey shore

  • hell yeah if your poor do a rich man make sure you get pregnant and bame rich all your life haha genius

  • Capitalism leads to prostitution: sex and marriage for money. If you're on the bottom rung of society, almost any guy is a step up.

  • Education, culture, etc play a role...  but also, it CAN be biology. He certainly isn't a sociologist OR a biologist. Poor women not only have sex earlier, but also, on average, reach sexual maturity earlier. Coincidence? There are various mating strategies for humans. One is to mate early, but this is relied upon by females with lower prospects of attracting an affluent mate. That's a very simplistic explanation, but it isn't a false one.

  • I've been a fan of tyt for years, but it irks me how Ben keeps referring to the right wing as the evildoers, and condescends about them rarely using factual evidence. It makes him seem closeminded as well.

  • get the fuck off your computer you dickhead - you're on TV, acting non-schelaunt, you're not fooling anyone.

  • hmm what a stereotype.

  • Its a fact not a stereotype

  • I"l let you think w.e you want

  • 2.27 was too funny

  • Yeah agree'd education is very important. And its good to make the distinction e between sex education and education.

  • I'm pretty sure it's because they have fewer things to keep them occupied... After all, sex is free!

  • McScreenName I agree

  • @ScienceLoveMusic

    Haha, I was was gonna write a comment saying exactly the same thing.

  • I really like Ben, he's rational and intelligent. He should be on more.

    I've said this before and I will say this again: having grown up in Sweden I have had sex ed pretty much thrown at me ever since I was 8 years old. Sex was never a shameful taboo to me. By 12 I knew all about condoms and STDs. But that didn't make me promiscuous at all. By choice I had sex for the first time pretty late in life and I have a comfortable and healthy sex life today.

  • Boys force girls to do things, There like "SEND ME A PIC OF YOU NAKED!" It's just those kind of boys that I want to punch in the face until I break their jaw. The rest of the boys are great.

  • i think youre going a little far to say that poor girls date poor boys and they all just become losers. just because a guy is poor doesnt make him a loser, especially at 15years old -as theyre saying here- alot of them havent had the oppurtunity to make any money yet. now if theyre say, 20, and broke with no job thats about the point you can start calling them losers

  • Sex education doesn't deter sex, on the contrary. But it stimulates having safe sex, it also removes sex from the realm of social taboo so that one is more likely to buy condoms or use other contraceptives. I grew up in the Netherlands where sex education (or sex for that matter) is hardly a taboo. It has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in the world. However, the pregnancies are concentrated in the poor areas (mainly among people from present Caribbean colonies who live in the Netherlands).

  • brilliant point. sex education deters sex. isn't that what the right wants? less sex? and yet, their solution, abstinence, makes kids have more sex, with a higher rate of teen pregnancy.

    amazing. pretty much sums up right wing ideology for me.

  • Ben is a cool guy!

  • Where's Ana? She is cute, funny,adorable and hot. This doink replacement bores me to death.

  • @eqsmooth minus funny

  • @eqsmooth hes been on here longer then ana, and is not a doink, bens funny ):

  • @brainiac554 he's boring and does not present the news material well. Why? Because he mumbles, interrupts Cenk and is not communicating with the audience AT ALL... End of story

  • @eqsmooth I only like Cenk, JR and Ana. Cenk looks like a reporter and correspondent. There should be no laptops on the desk and more eye contact w/the camera.

  • One star, for the guy on the right.

  • Who is that left wing jerk who can't keep his mouth shut?

    He pretends to be, but is not, interested in facts.

  • Yea its true when i was young(im from the city) i lost my virginity when i was 14 and i was one of the last on my block most lost it at 12 or 13. I would i always hit on suburban chicks and they say all the boys they knew were afraid. Thats just cause we werent lame, i've always said college is like high school for suburban kids.

  • I dunno why this surprising. ofc poorer people have sex earlier. When was the last time your saw a teenage mom driving here dads Bentley?

  • Just a thought... Its possible that poor girls have sex earlier because they have fewer perceived assets to retain someone in a relationship.

  • Yeah...that's what it was.

  • So what I got is that we need to keep women poorer. And wear protectionist.

    Poor = Easy sluts!

  • Poor people have fun for free that is why they have sex. Rich kids go to the mall.

  • @Potrillo1177,

    An old Italian slang term for sex was "poor man's opera."

  • the guy on the right is an idiot, if thats why he thinks thats why

  • poor girls are uneducated and make stupid decisions like the redneck shit heads or mexicans in America, they squirt out thousands of ugly fucking babies all the time.

  • TYT keeps saying that the results of this study are "facts"; they aren't. The results of one study do not constitute indisputable fact.

  • that study they're talking about is all based on facts. I fail to see your point.

  • A study is just a study. It's results don't constitute indisputable truth, or even accurate sociological trends.

    The assertion that the results of a study must constitute indisputable truth ("fact") simply because a single study was based on factual data is absurd. There need to be many studies based on a wide array of data before any news organization should be spouting said findings as "fact".

  • *Its

  • depends on the sample in question. although you are correct. the result of a sample can provide interesting information about a population.

  • @MrDustandechoes No, but they do confirm what sociologists have predicted, and I'm quite sure that all other studies on the subject will reveal similar results.

  • are there any hot poor chicks out there?

  • yes

  • hitten up the ghettos tonight ;)

  • Damn, I must be affluent.

  • I agree with ChrizzeeB teen pregnancy and poverty is a vicious cycle. Teen mother is more likely to live a live of poverty and her daughters are also have a higher chance of becoming a teen mom.

  • isn't that's why there are are prostitutes?

  • Nope. TYT wrong on this one.

    It's a fact dug up in the UK.

    The UK has one national curriculum for all its state schools.

    There is a lot of sex education from 12 onwards, and even a tiny bit in primary school.

    There would be less education for kids who go to private schools as the independent school picks their own curriculum and doesn't follow the paternalistic government mandates.

    Poor kids get more sex education, but their parents had them when they were 15 themselves and they follow suit.

  • Way to oversimplify a complex issue by using fallacies.

  • lmao really? thats all you had to contribute? fuck off you ego dripping piece of dogshit.

  • guy whos not cenk turn your damn mic up

  • he needs to turn it off and go home

  • Duh.

  • it has to do with things to do. children in poverty and poorer kids have less things to do.

  • Personally i belive that not all people should be allowed to repoduce becouse some of parents and kids i see now a days is insane......

  • wish we wouldve stopped your parents.

  • Interesting thought. Who decides? What criteria? What new laws are created or should I say freedoms lost? Where would it end?

    Communist China limits child birth to one child per couple. Couples want male babies so their girl babies "die" at birth. Infanticide or Post-natal Abortion?

    What happens if you or I fail such criteria? Post natal abortion could mean any time after one is born.

  • I decide, that's who. What if you and I fail? Well, then you and I never get to have kids! Life goes on even if you're childless! Jeez! And I like the idea of female infanticide because the scarcer women are, the more they're worth. Look at men in the military - they're surrounded by men and the first sight of a woman, no matter how unattractive she is, gets the man's engine running. When men have plenty of women to choose from, they picky shallow and picky.

  • It really depenxds, like most fundamentalism. Couples in china want a male because males are more segnificant in society. Male children end up taking care of their parents and females are absorbed into their families. Personally, in the states, I believe that if you are not mentally stable and do not have the mental capacity to actually WATCH your children so they don't drown in a pool, you aren't fit to be a parent. But again, it's just my personal feelings.

  • iq tests, personality exams, followed by tax bracket, all couples are allowed one child beyond that takes something like the aforementioned qualifications

    reasoning is: shitty people make shitty kids, and lot of them. it is everyones problem when the kid you didnt raise or were just incapable of properly nurturing grows up and stabs me for something. something needs to be done nevermind the whole overpopulation and diluting the gene pool but really, anyone seen idiocracy? is it wrong?

  • I actually kind of agree on this one. If you are not mentally stable, intelligent enough or do not have the capacity to raise children so that they are healthy, logical, productive and ethical human beings, you shouldnt be allowed to. There is a difference between a widow that got layed off and who is doing everything in her power to physically and mentally nourish her kids and someone that is just adopting/fostering/popping out kids for a government check

  • its all a matter of the person or persons involved really everyone is different rich or poor guys r guys rich or poor take a rich guys and a hot lookin poor chick and i bet he will tag it

  • Well, duh. Poor girls = More likely to be uneducated, depressed, stressed-out, angry, growing up in a single-parent household. All major contributing factors to having earlier sex. It's why you see so many poor minorities and white trash having kids when they're 16 or younger.

  • really jfk?? really?? thanks for that. (shakes head)

  • English girls as usual eh...no surprise the UK has the highest teen pregnancy in all of Europe...it makes you wonder what they teach in the schools.

  • A PRO FESSIONAL. LOOK IT UP IN THE BOOK

  • Cenk is the best

  • Thats because they have dead beat parents,lazy feckless, whom over time will drag us all down withem,as its the slow decay of our moral fabric.And their offspring will be that little bit worse then they were and in no time at all you are back in the trees.

  • why is this titled specifically as girls??

    its all about morals imo.

  • A person can not believe in god/devil and still use the word 'evil', many words have different accepted meanings, 'evil' is one of them - therefore it can be used properly and not contradict religious beliefs etc. On another note, TYT is behind on their facts, such facts have been in text books for years! Who didn't know this already? This fact was in my Psychology, Sociology, and Human Sexuality books last semester from statistics published years ago.

  • it is not the reason just because of having sex earlier one can get into such dangerous some kinda disease like HIV and Cancer . it is the changes of sex partner go get a life and have research on it .. what a stupid research and lame claim

  • I think it's not about education at all. Those rich places like that are filled with the "Evil doers" and the schools aren't as big on sex education as they are in urban areas.

    the reason, ion my opi9nion, is that wealthier parents tend to shelter their children more often o0n average for one because both the parents will be around two the neighbor hood won't be a hang out like it is in urban areas.

  • god i hate these fucking youtube ads

  • Poor people go to public schools which are co-ed. Rich people go to private schools which are mostly single sex.

  • my private school is co-ed

  • Make sure we are talking about the same thing, do you pay per year for schooling? Or is it a gov't run school? Because in Australia Private means fees and in England Public means fees.

  • the mac guy should shut the fuck up.

  • The apple laptop dude is so annoying. Stop interrupting Cenk, let others voice their opinions before sprouting out your own trivial ideas. I mean ...oh yeah 17 is a good age to have sex. What are you even talking about!

  • Comment removed

  • TYT, how can you call right wing evil doers when you don't believe in evil. You don't make any sense? That's like Kobe Bryant asking what is Basketball!!!

  • The called were kidding, and mocking them. Particularly because they are the 'religious' right and are always pointing their fingers calling other people evil (such as gays).They are pointing out republican hypocrisy. Especially since in light of the story republicans will use the study to push their agenda.

  • sorry! i like the other chick better than is new guy he gotta go!!! GET THE FUCK OUT!

  • can someone say....HECKMAN!

  • FOUR years younger? 12 or 13 as opposed to 16 or 17? A lot of that has to be rape. I don't mean statutory rape either. Yuk.

  • Who is this guy. Get him off the show. He states the obvious and is frustrating.

  • who is this new guy?

    i find him annoying

  • Is this a new story?

  • No it is not.
