This video provides a chilling depiction of what it feels like to live in the same world as your rapist, and how it feels to confront them:

Although there are many who say sexual assault is caused by drinking, it's really caused by rapists.

Studies show that two major drinking patterns appear dominant among college students: (1) drinking related to impassivity, dis-inhibition, and sensation-seeking; and (2) drinking to manage negative emotional states, such as depression. ]]> 2016-10-31 20:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/evalerio1/6naske3ywh0z/wish/134345541 evalerio1 https://padlet.com/evalerio1/6naske3ywh0z/wish/134345862 Although we think of college as a time when young adults experiment with alcohol, the college years are rarely the first time students have faced decisions about alcohol.

In their forthcoming book, What Are They Thinking? The straight facts about the risk-taking, social-networking, still-developing teen brain, Aaron M.
