Well, the way we always stopped it. First by people like you not telling us to “get over it” and acting like it is desirable for young people to live like feral animals.

Second by providing a family for your children that protects them. Doesn’t allow dating at age 12, watches over the kids, knows what they do, tells them what not to do and what will happen if they do it. Meeting their dates and letting them know a man is in the house watching. Making them come home sober at a reasonable hour and knowing where they go. Waiting up!! WAITING UP every time your child goes out with the opposite sex. Monitoring their friends and activities.

Raising kids requires much of a parent that is a bit like a guard, intuition and watchfulness.

And BTW doing that does not result in sluts as someone said. It results i healthy kids who are relieved they are being watched as they know they are loved and treasured.

I can’t give you a lifetime of what we do to raise kids who dont get abused by the people around them. I just can’t but I know it is possible to do. I did it just like my parents and theirs. My kids all thank me now as they do the same with their kids.

Agree. Hard work, but I do my best.
