11:46 am
>> here a scary atistic, cout 20% of women by the time they graduate fllege will be the victim of sexual assault. there are lots conversations we have with our daughters that have to do to things that might haen to them thatre a less likely than 20%. we tell them to wear seat belts all the time. likelihood o a fatal crash is a lot less than that. here's the conversation i have with some of patits in my practice i think parents ould have. number one, i talk to the young women about dangers of alcohl. the one thing of every patient who ir have eve seen who is a college student sexually salted or raped, they all were drunk. heir not to say it's fault, right. it's the guy's fault. but they need to be awareng bei drunk is a significant risk factor. they're probably going to be drunk and the guy iab pr gonna be drunk. so you oeed to be awaref that. number two, they neede to mak sure they've got girlfriends o hen they go out and party are eping an eye on them, have their best interest at heart. if they're starting to do he something wre they're getting
11:47 am
themselves int a risky situation, those girls are there rescue them. finally, what i tell them, i ask them what do you thi i you would dof you're in a situation, a frat throom, guy you're hooking up with starts making moves, doing thin you're uncomfortable with, what would you do? they almost always say the same thing, scream, hit him, punch him where it hurts, et cetera. the reality is those things probably aren't going to take plac tbecause you're goingo freeze. i think peoe need to think ahead of time whathey might do. the advice i givetiy paents is if you're in that uncomfortable situation, you have been saying no, no, and it's not working and then you tell them you feel likt you're goingo vomit. saying you're going to vomit is a way to get away. say excuse me, i'm going to the bathrm, i need to throw up. you get away without a major conflict with the guy, you go off, bring your phone, bring your clothes, come out of the bathroom and say look, i'm not feeling well, i'm going home. i think that's a way to get out
11:48 am
of this situation. >>hat's a great of advice. what's one piece of advice you give to parents of young men going to llege? with the men they need to note no means no. you need to treat women with respect. loand i said , you don't want to get into a he said/she said situation so you have to be very careful.et do not do somng sexually with a woman if she's drunk. it's potentially asking for trouble. >> sure. quickly to wrap up, it's inevitable, college. you're going to go to parties. therals going to be hol, maybe even drugs. what should parents be saying to teenagers heading out of the house for the first time? >> the big thing i would say maybe some people are notwa are gf is the real risk when you start combinin things. i'll tell my patients, look, i'm not telling you it's great to smoke weed and drink alcohol, but you need to be careful if you combine aohol with eithe benzos, things like xanax,or opioids, things like percocet or vicodin. that's where you really put yourself in major harm's way.
