Girls: 'we want parents to protect us from sex'

Many teenage girls are being forced by their boyfriends to engage in sexual acts taken from pornographic films which can be easily accessed through the internet and mobile phones. “I wish my parents would say I’m not allowed to be home alone with a boy,” said one 16-year-old girl. “I wish they’d say boys aren’t allowed in my bedroom. They make this big deal about ‘trusting us’, but that’s not helping me. They have no idea what goes on, and I’m too embarrassed to tell them.” The teenagers explained the notion of a ‘third wheel,’ the modern equivalent of a chaperone, a friend who girls take with them to keep them safe from sexual advances.
