Mission Statement:

My page is designed to encourage people to educate themselves and their children about the harmful effects of pornography.  I will also be providing tips on how to talk to your children about pornography and ways to safeguard against unsolicited exposure.

Personas:

Cheryl is a 36 year old mother of four. Recently she was helping her 12 year old daughter, Anna, with a class project. They were creating a character and needed a photo. Her daughter typed in the words, blonde girl. Cheryl was mortified when streams of pornographic photos started skipping across the screen. They seemed to be caught in a loop. Cheryl wonders how she can protect her children from being exposed to such demoralizing images. What if she had not been present? Cheryl knows she needs to talk to Anna about what happened and is a little unsure about how to approach this delicate subject.

Rusty is a 15 year old boy who plays basketball at the local high school. He got his iPhone 2 years ago for Christmas. He was most excited about being able to check the scores on fox sports at any time. Unfortunately, this is also the site that linked him to his first pornographic website. At first he looked just out of curiosity, but now it is something that he can’t get through the day without doing. He doesn't like the ways he feels or acts most of the time. He knows he has a problem but he doesn't know how to reach out for help.

Cassandra is a 23 year old newlywed. Cassandra saved herself for marriage and was looking forward to an intimate relationship with her husband Carl.  Cassandra has been surprised by Carl’s lack of interest. Recently she discovered that Carl is spending time each day looking at pornographic website. When she tried to discuss it with him, he brushed her off and said, “That is just what guys do. It doesn't mean anything.” Cassandra feels betrayed and wonders what is wrong with her that might make Carl choose pornography over her. She begins to try to improve herself thinking that if only she were better, then Carl would choose her.
