I think this is something too many people overlook when talking about teen girls. The statistics are shocking. I only had a second to look up numbers, but RAINN says 1 in 9 girls has been sexually assaulted or sexually abused by an adult before age 18. And that’s just by *adults* — the number of assaults by other teens is much higher. [/quote]

Very true - and I believe it is worse with social media as photos and online shaming are often involved. 
Will look for recent story in WP about a Potomac teen who started asking other teens about their traumas and was staggered by the high level of sexual assaults experienced by teen girls.

10000% THIS.  Yes, social media is toxic.  But a sexual assault is what made my DD suicidal.  And the pandemic shut down so many avenues to help.  And I’m fighting like crazy to keep her moving forward.  And she’s FAR from alone.  And parents often don’t know.[/quote]
