The Uncomfortable Truth About Sexual Exposure Across Class Lines
Welcome to the first episode of Side Notes: a raw companion series where I explore topics that didn't quite fit into the main podcast.
Today I'm going more in-depth with personal stories about inappropriate childhood sexual experiences that were common in my upbringing. I examine how these experiences contrast dramatically with those of children from middle and upper-class backgrounds.
I question how this early exposure shapes future outcomes, including the higher rates of teen pregnancy in disadvantaged communities. Is it because these kids don't see a future worth protecting? Or because they haven't been taught to prioritize long-term goals?
The conversations might be uncomfortable, but they're necessary if we want to break cycles that have damaged generations. Share your thoughts, experiences, or insights by leaving a comment or sending me a message—I genuinely want to hear your perspective on this complex issue.
