A significant number of teenage girls suffer date rape as their first or nearly first experience of sexual intercourse (see Chapter 8) and most tell no one about their attacks. Consider Nora, a high school junior, who was raped by a date as they watched TV in his parents’ house or Jenny, 16, who was raped after she drank too much at a party. Even before a girl officially begins dating, she may be raped by a schoolmate or friend.
