Don’t Blame Online Dating Sites for Teen Sexual Abuse - part 1
Why do people turn abusers? Is it because they were abused as kids and they could not speak out? Were there parents not supportive enough and did not try to understand the kid and the child felt neglected? It has been found that most of the child abusers are known to the child and family as well. Social stigma or the fear of disturbing the hornet’s nest (family) prevents the parents from giving justice to the child. This leaves emotional scars on the child which makes them grow up with vengeance.
Another fact for sexual abuse could be the conservative ways of life that are forced on the individual in the name of tradition. A person with a rebellious nature will not try to understand these traditions but will try to break them for their own ego-satisfaction. The level of frustration across the nations has increased due to high cost of living, lesser jobs; media exposure has shown the glamorous side of life and living which has affected the mindset of the people in developing nations.
The best way to release frustration is through sex is what has been scientifically proven. The people are literally applying this to their life-style and going on a sexual satisfaction spree at any cost. The government of India had passed a law that a citizen is considered to be an adult at 18 years of age. With the crime scene changing in India, the govt. is planning to reduce the age of an adult from 18 years to 16 years! If you can think of sexual abuse at sixteen then you are responsible enough to face the consequences of the crimes you commit and cannot get away by being a juvenile. Sex at 16, voting at 18, drinking permit at 25!
Parents must give more attention to their child at the growing age. Be supportive and understanding so that the child feels free to discuss everything with the parents rather than falling under the peer pressure and committing a crime which he/she regret later. Trust your child more than you trust your family members as usually the child abusers are known to the child and the family. Give time to your child and not just load the child with money, gadgets and exotic holidays that will keep your status high in society and put your child in to the dumps.

Teenagers undergo hormonal changes that affect their moods. They may go into depression, become moody and loners too. Meeting a person and wanting to spend time with him/her is a natural instinct. The physical attractiveness is the basis of building a relationship. Teens are influenced by romantic novels, images, movies which attract them to the good looking, well dressed person. They start re-living some fantasy of love at first sight. It’s just attraction due to the hormonal changes.
Possessiveness is another myth that teenagers are accused of. When one is going through a transitional phase and period of loneliness the person who gives you comfort is the best person in your life. The hormonal changes create the emotion of jealousy and this may lead to teenage violence.
Teenagers believe that this relationship is the most valued and serious relationship in their life. Parents must encourage group dating and communicate more with the teenagers to keep them out of trouble. Don’t be too harsh but simply discipline them by explaining why certain acts are forbidden.
Mr. Right will come along and sweep you off your feet never happens. Love conquers all (race, caste, religion) is never true as grown up couples are known to break up over a brand of toothpaste. Your love cannot change the weirdo. He/she is no diamond that will get polished with your love but will remain a weirdo only.
Maybe sitting by the phone and waiting for your date to call may have changed but the myths of teenage romance continue till date.
