- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Just because you grew up in an era doesn't mean that you got the full experience others got. Kinda what I'm saying.
In the south (or for young girls most places) for example, this was definitely closer to the norm. Parents obviously would always SAY that they would always try and protect their kids—and maybe they would try—until it got to the part where they were actually molested. Then a lot of parents didn't believe or want you to speak out 🙃
Statistically, this was more often to happen with people you knew, I'll grant.
Flashback to riding the bus home from middle school in Kentucky when my slightly older friend confessed that she'd been raped by a cousin but she was still a virgin because it'd been anal.
I didn't think I gave particularly good advice on that topic in 7th grade.
