UK Girls Abused By Boyfriends
LONDON: A third of teenage British girls say they have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their boyfriends, according to a report by a children's charity yesterday. A survey of more than 1,350 teenagers found that nine out of 10 girls aged 13 to 17 have been in an intimate relationship, with one in six of these saying they had been forced to have sex and one in 16 saying they had been raped. A quarter of girls had suffered physical violence such as being slapped or punched.

Best advice I can give is: Lock them up, luv.
ReplyDeleteIt's terrifying isn't it. So many things to worry about.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised - I blame rap music which features a non-stop parade of submissive females dancing for the amusement of these bulked-up idiots in dark glasses - if any boy even thinks of treating my daughter badly he'll be the one getting punched. I'm not a fussy eater - prison food will do me rightly!!!
ReplyDeleteBest thing is to make sure they're wise to all this at the start so they can be aware this stuff can and does happen, Anne. I found not perpetuating the myth that to have a boyfriend was the be all and end all in a girl's life kinda helped. Although Alice has been out with a few odd ones (!) she's been savvy enough to be able to see straight through the transparent ones. I like to think I had some part in this street-wise young lady I see before me!
ReplyDeleteI have been raped physically and mentally. Don't know which one is worse. Fortunately, I learned to fight back. Not always in my best interests, but that is another story. To any woman who has been abused in any way, take care of yourself. Abandon any man who does this to you. It might take a bit of time, but you will learn to respect and love yourself
