Save the Kids Ep. 46 - Guess What? Your Daughter Looks at Porn, Too

“Only boys struggle with porn.”

“Girls only care about social media not porn.”

“This is just a guy issue.”

*Dwight Schrute voice*

FALSE.

Countless times I have read messages from tween/teen girls saying “Collin, I’ve been struggling with pornography for ______ time and it’s eating me up inside, I feel horrible because porn is a guy issue, and I’m a girl, so what’s wrong with me?” Gah. Nothing is wrong with you. By some expert estimates 90+ of boys will have some struggle with pornography as a teenager and 70%+ of girls will too. Guess what parents, girls are escaping to porn for the same reasons boys are. Today my guest is a very brave teenager name Ashlee who shares her story of how she was exposed to porn simply by a book her mom had on the shelf that was a how-to-talk-to-your-kids-about-porn. After mom gave her an iPhone, it was all downhill from there. Not until just a few months ago, Ashlee lived a 2nd life hiding this dark secret from everyone in her life, but now, after finally telling a trusted friend about her struggle, she’s on the road to freedom. Since recording this episode I have had Ashlee join me speaking to 1000’s of people (virtually) with so may teenage girls sharing afterwards how her story changed their lives—inspiring so many of them to open up about their own porn struggle and being the healing process. This interview is pretty awesome, a must listen for parents of girls no matter the age, and for any girl struggling with pornography to hear you're not alone, and there's a way out.
