A quote from this week's newsletter.
Media Quote of the Week:
"Sex of any kind is a big deal. The advertisement, entertainment and merchandising industries lie to our children about this -- they pretty much make sex look simple, easy and without human meaning...Kids [should know] how cheated they will be if they buy into this deception." -- Debbie Roffman, author of Sex and Sensibility: The Thinking Parent's Guide to Talking Sense About Sex (Washington Post Express, April 16, 2008)
Statistic of the Week:
A high percentage of American teens and tweens (children aged 9-12) say they have experienced a physically or emotionally abusive dating relationship. Sixty nine percent of all teens who had sex by age 14 said they had gone through one or more types of abuse in a relationship. -- survey by Teenage Research Unlimited (Reuters.com, July 10, 2008, via Focus on the Family's Plugged In Online)
