Lil, I completely agree with having this be a point of discussion in secondary eduction. Sexual education and relationship based education is sorely lacking, at least in the United States. A couple of friends of mine are actually taking a course through the Center for Women and Gender here that is entirely about relationship building, I'm looking forward to hearing their thoughts about this course.

With regards to this article (real or not), it struck a chord with me because I almost ended up going through this situation as an 18 year old. Broke up with a girl who proceeded to threaten to report me as a sexual offender to the local police, despite the consensual nature of our sex, etc...not the best part of my life by any means and if it actually went that far I don't know what would have happened.
