Chapter One

Unhappily Ever After

the heartbreaking story of today’s sex-at-thirteen generation

- Leslie -

I was ten years old when I became the target of graphic sexual jokes on the playground.

I was eleven when I started being touched and grabbed sexually in the halls at school.

I was twelve when some of my peers began experimenting with oral sex and invited me to join in.

I was thirteen when I received my first opportunity to lose my virginity – to a fifteen-year-old boy I had known for two days.

I was fourteen when my friends began swapping sex stories at slumber parties – jovially comparing the size and stamina of their boyfriends’ sexual organs.

And I was fifteen when I gave myself emotionally and physically to the first of several boys who used me for their own selfish pleasure and then mercilessly broke my heart.

No, I did not come from a broken home or rough neighborhood.
