A day in the life of a teen girl

Think of a teen girl. Perhaps she’s your daughter. Imagine you are her, for just a day.

You get out of bed, put your Ipod on shuffle and listen to degrading lyrics that encourage you to act like a lobotomized sex kitten for a guy.

On the way to school, you pass billboards showing beautiful, thin girls being the object of a man’s sexual attention to sell a product. You wonder if you need to lose a few pounds and dress sexier.

At school, your girlfriends gossip in graphic details about their sexual encounters over the weekend and you worry that you haven’t had sex with enough guys.

Back home, you turn on the TV and watch guys paw over half dressed girls in music videos. You worry that maybe you are not hot enough for a guy to want you like that.

You log onto MySpace and read comments from girls at school telling you that you are “ugly and should die.” An instant message pops up from a Facebook friend. He writes ”will you give me head? You write back “Hahahaha” but feel confused. You hardly even know the guy!

Another friend sends you a link to a free porn site he is watching. Curious, you click on it. You watch two men slap, spank, spit on, and insert themselves into every orifice of the girl who sounds like she is enjoying it, but you aren’t quite sure. Should you be letting your boyfriend do those things to you? Is that what he wants? You are a bit aroused but feel dirty at the same time.
