Rapes of underage girls are up but some other findings are happier, poll finds

Due to a Ramjitti Institute study released yesterday, 17 - 18 underage girls were raped or molested every day last year, and 20 youths of both sexes contemplated suicide. The total number of rape victims under 18 years of age was 6,438 last year, compared to 5,885 in 2008, said Amornwit Nakhontap, the Ramjitti Institute director, quoting a study that surveyed 150,000 youths from primary school to graduate level across the country. And about 7,300 people under 25 attempted or contemplated suicide.


In my opinions, this news is not a good-to-hear at all. The victims was increased from last year. Nowadays, we can see this kind of news in everywhere. I think there should be something done seriously for avoiding this unpleasant situation to happen
