What happens on spring break stays on spring break ... until now. We traveled to South Padre Island for our exclusive Mom•Logic Investigation: Spring Break Confessions, featured on Good Morning America, The O'Reilly Factor and Inside Edition. We told you about the drinking, the drugs, and the sex, and our experts gave tips on how to talk to your kids about it. But when we asked parents and teens to take a poll about spring break--we were even more surprised at what we found.

It's understandable that 70% of parents were more anxious about what would happen to their children at spring break because of the Natalee Holloway disappearance. But only about 30% of teens admitted Natalee Hollway's story impacted decisions they made--which is truly scary.

Other findings:

   * One in four teens say they or someone they know lost their virginity on spring break.
   * Over half said they or a friend had sex with someone they met on the trip.
   * One in three said they or a friend had sex without a condom. (This won't come as a surprise to some Moms--a third of all parents polled admitted to thinking their kids would have unprotected sex.)
   * Almost 60% of parents believe their kids were not honest with them about what went on during spring break--and, according to our survey, they're right. Over half of all kids said they lied to their parents about what went on during spring break.

See for yourself what really happened:
