Sexual Violence: a difficult subject

This is a tough subject.  It makes parents, students, and schools nervous and squeamish, and some would rather us not mention it at all.  But it is topic that really needs to be discussed before students head off to college. Therefore we want all students to have the information they need, and we want them to be able to talk about sexual assault knowledgeably and openly. So, here are "5 fact about sexual assault every student should know."

Years ago I remember an alum offering our about-to-be graduates one simple rule: don't ever, ever, ever put a drink down or even turn away from it while it is in your hand.  Ever. As the article states, although alcohol is still the number one "date rape drug," there are many others. So know your rights and know where to turn. Even the smartest of girls can become a victim.  Watch out for each other.
