and i think that's the biggest reason why it's such a taboo in our culture. if our own parents are there to support us when we need it most, then who else will? the girl's parents need to have a voice, and stand up for their daughter, especially if she is being wronged. instead, they fall back because 'ohh, what will other people think' and what other people's reaction will be.
it has to stop somewhere, no? we need to get out of this mentality that we shouldn't talk about it, or we shouldn't do certain things because of what others think or want.
