<p>My D attends another NESCAC school (the one that last year came out with published legislation that it is illegal to have sex in your room while your roommate is there (unless of course they are a consenting participant or avid voyeur) and I can say that “hooking up” appears to be prevalent in high school and college. Guys don’t want to be tied down to one girl when they can get 3 different girls on an weekend or better yet two girls at the same time. How can a young woman who isn’t willing to participate in such activity to compete with those options. The advice is stick to your guns and keep your self esteem in tact. It’s hard to wait but it’s worse to let this type of culture turn you into something you don’t want to be. On a small campus, reputations are lost in a heartbeat. Once people have done the rounds and by around the middle of sophomore year, they start to at least look at things differently. Hooking up is a poor step child to a real relationship. It can not only ruin a reputation, it could kill you!</p>
