11. I've always said that it's up to parents to inform their teenage children BEFORE it happens to them

It might be embarrassing or hard to talk about with one's children, but today's kids need to be warned. They need to be told how to protect themselves, and how to be a little more savvy about what can happen to them when they least expect it.

I'm sorry to deprive these children their innocence, but they need to hear about it from someone who really cares for their safety. What a sorry world we live in.
