“With the current climate surrounding sexual assault and rape culture, it would be irresponsible for a publication devoted to a teenage audience to ignore this horrifying plague on our society. Sexual assault affects people of all ages, but it disproportionately affects young people, especially those who are of high school and college age. Sexual assault affects young people of all genders, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It does not wait for you in a dark alley, it does not wait for you to be alone, and it does not wait for you to consume alcohol or any other substance. You are more likely to be sexually assaulted by your friend than by a random stranger. A dark alley is, in fact, statistically safer than a college campus. These are not opinions; these are, we regret to inform you, facts.”
