Internet Porn to be Blamed for Sexual Abuse at School

According to an MP, easy access to Internet porn is behind a worryingly high number of girls being groped or sexually manhandled at school.

Ann Coffey has said that a third of sixth-form girls had been touched inappropriately by boys in their school.

Internet Porn Causes �Unrealistic Expectations� of Sex Among 11-12-Year-Olds
Being exposed to pornography on the internet has led to “unrealistic expectations” of sex among children as young as 11 years old, a new study in Britain reveals.

The chairman of the all-party parliamentary group on runaway and missing children, put the blame firmly on the increasing impact of internet pornography, which she said was "distorting" teenage boys' views of sex.

She warned that many boys were developing "harmful attitudes and behaviours," such as seeing girls simply as sex objects because they believe they have a "sense of entitlement" to do what they want to them.

The MP called for sex and relationship education to be made compulsory in schools, saying that the situation was so bad that boys had to be supported to form "respectful attitudes to girls."

How Internet Porn Fuels Sex Offences
Psychologists believe that there is a connection between the increase in explicit images available on the internet and the rise in deviant sexual behavior in real life.

Unless the situation is changed, more girls would suffer "physical and emotional harm," which could damage their education and future career prospects.

Speaking during a debate on child sexual exploitation in the Commons, Coffey cited a YouGov poll by the End Violence Against Women campaign, which surveyed 800 teenagers.

Internet Porn Usage Peaks During Election Wins
A study has found that while most celebrate a political candidate's victory with a party, others enjoy the moment by watching Internet porn.

It found that 29 percent of 16 to 18-year-old girls had suffered "unwanted sexual touching" at school.

Almost as many, 28 percent, said they had seen sexual images on mobile phones at school "a few times a month or more." And 71 percent said they had heard sexual name-calling at school "daily or a few times a week."

Linking Internet Pornography To Teenage Relationship Violence
A top barrister in England has warned that teenage relationships are becoming increasingly more abusive due to the easy access to Internet pornography.

Some 40 percent said they had never had lessons teaching them about the need for sexual consent.

Miss Coffey said children should be taught what sexual coercion and exploitation is, as well as being alerted to signs of when they are being sexually groomed.

She said lessons should also cover how to shape healthy relationships

"The focus needs to be on both boys and girls," she said.

"Boys need to be supported to form positive and respectful attitudes to girls," she added.

The Labour MP for Stockport said one of the main problems was boys accessing adult websites.
