PhoenixGrad,
I understand your point. However, there is a time when we must become accountable for our own actions. This is not "placing the blame on the victim" as someone stated, but simply understanding our own personal boundaries and not putting ourselves in situations where we feel comprimised (for lack of a better word).
As college students (17-21+), most of us knew the difference between right and wrong. No matter what decision we made or the factors that contributed to our decision making, we knew the difference between right and wrong and made our decision accordingly. We may have regretted that decision later on, but ultimately it was our choice to begin with.
I know sometimes there is some gray area. Not everything is black and white. However, even posed with a dilemma you can make a choice that is, at the very least, bearable.
Before I went on line, I didn't know step-by-step what was going to take place - no one does. However, I knew EXACTLY what I WASN'T going to do to earn my letters and I stuck by that. I think most of us do.
