[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s appropriate to speculate on particular kids. This comment is NOT about OP’s daughter’s friends.

At the same time, it’s important that parents know this, so I’m putting it out as a general point: studies show that roughly 20% of college students are sexually assaulted during college. The first few months of freshman year are known as the “red zone” because a large portion of assaults happen during those months. Adjusting to college is rough for anyone, but imagine doing that while suffering from PTSD or other after-effects of sexual violence....

Bystander interventions are one of the few things that have been shown to make a difference in stopping this, so parents of teens — both girls AND boys — please talk to your kids about being aware and about things they can do to help keep their classmates safe.
