yea i totally agree... if the story is in fact true, i'm not saying it's the girls fault or anything... that is about as smart as saying "she was asking for it".. which is really a terrible thing to say, and that is not at all the point I was trying to make.
i'm just trying to make a point that the situation itself could have been prevented - maybe I just grew up very sheltered, but what on earth is a 16-yr old doing at a frat party in the first place? and how does a 16 yr old already know and "trust" a college age guy enough to go to his room? when i was in high school, sure i went parties, but they were all with my high-school buddies and i knew better than to take drinks given to me by random people i didn't know very well - there's no telling what could have been in there, ya know? Maybe it's because the colleges around my hometown didn't have open parties... i don't know.. but IMHO 16 is really young to be partying out at fraternity houses. I am not condoning what happened at all because it's NOT ok, and it's very true that it could have happened to any girl there whether she was 16, 19 or 34. I just thought it was a little odd for the parent in the letter to make it sound like it was ok for her daughter to be there even though she was very young and was willingly drinking the drinks given to her.
Once again, not saying it was her fault or it was all because of her bad choices, because raping someone is NOT ok in any circumstance.
