From the School Guidance Counsellor
TBHS - February 14, 2019
It is a valuable and timely contribution to the New Zealand ‘porn and young people’ conversation, indicating 67% of NZ youth aged 14-17 have been exposed to pornography, and 32% of boys and 23% of girls have seen it by the age of 12 or younger.
The Light Project has noticed that young people are keen to seek help. Their most popular website page over the past 3 months has been the ‘I need help’ page with a growing number of personal requests for help from youth and whānau. I am really keen to see help available to young people and ask you as parents to explore the website yourselves, and then encourage your son to check out the website www.thelightproject.co.nz
