Carmen Mojica, Radio Rookies Hunts Point

Virginity

Radio Rookies | Jul 16, 2010

Carmen wants to stay a virgin until she gets married. But TV, music and peer pressure all seem to be conspiring against her. Is virginity losing its value in our culture?

Only 1 in 5 young people nationwide wait until they turn twenty to have sex. And three of the 20 people Carmen surveyed in her neighborhood said they had sex when they were under 12.

Carmen was mentored by Matt Abramovitz.
