Daily Mail: A Quarter of Black Boys in Urban Areas Have Sex Before Age 13, Study Finds. Researchers from John Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland said that between 8 and 12 percent of all boys have had sex before reaching age 13, but that it was much higher in the inner cities. Some of the boys reported that they were pressured by their peers into having sex before they were ready. 40 percent said they had 'mixed feelings' about their first sexual experience and roughly 10 percent said it was unwanted. It was also reported the average age at which both men and women have sex for the first time in the United States is about 17. Intercourse before age 13 is linked to a higher risk of STDs, as well as other behavioral issues like substance abuse and skipping school. It is speculated that the reason these boys are having sex so early is because they are not being taught about sex education at home or at school.
A group of black women from around the country started an organization called the ‘Black Mamas Matter Alliance’, and their goal is to have “a world where Black mamas have the rights, respect, and resources to thrive before, during, and after pregnancy.” They claim that Black women face obstacles in accessing maternal health care which leads to “poor maternal health outcomes and persistent racial disparities.” According to the CDC, black women are 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy than white women. A doctor explained that black women suffer during pregnancies because of higher blood pressure, but the ‘Black Mamas Matter Alliance’ wants to cry racism.
