I grew up in a very destructive, very abusive environment, and I chose not to do that with my own children. I think that if children grow up in an unhealthy environment, it could potentially lead to choosing unhealthy partners and being in unhealthy relationships. As parents I think we have to give our kids the best tools we can give, and realize that they will be capable of making their own choices as time goes on.
Going back to what Lucille was saying, we are talking about children as young as 12. We've dealt with children who are 10, who are sending naked pictures of themselves and performing oral sex at 10, which makes me so disgusted and horrified. I think the education has to start younger, with the parents. We have to instill in our children, male or female, as young as possible, respect for themselves and for each other, so when you're 10, 12, 14 or 30, whatever, when somebody asks you to engage in sexual activity you're not comfortable doing, you have the confidence to say no, because you respect yourself and your body, and you expect them to do the same.
