I'm seeing some appreciation for this letter since earlier this morning.
The "write a letter" series in The Guardian is itself interesting. They pay 25 pounds per published letter (about $40US) and have published 351 so far on many topics. Who knows how true these are, but the confessional or angry letter format have a real feel to them.
The letter that bfx posted here, whether true or not, should be put in a high school or middle school reader for class discussion. It would be a good research topic for a high school kid. What would happen in your state or province? Could this be a true account in this country?
I imagine you've all heard of the "yes means yes" movement, replacing the "no means no."
How old is a minor in your state province? Do people even know or just "hear" about age of consent. Here's something from the Canadian Justice Department:
There is also a "close-in-age" exception for 12 and 13 year olds: a 12 or 13 year old can consent to sexual activity with another young person who is less than two years older and with whom there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or other exploitation of the young person.
