When I was in high school my mother was disappointed that I didn't take an internship I was offered at the local paper, because I knew that a couple of the girls who'd had it in past years had been expected to sleep with the editor who supervised the internship. She thought it was a great career opportunity.

As a teenager I didn't know enough to express how wrong EVERYTHING about that situation was. As an adult I can do better, and expect better for my children and all young people.
