Reading the British press before writing Monday's column about our
"sexualized world," I kept running across the name Steve Biddulph, often quoted as an expert in child psychology.
In his timely new book,
"Raising Girls," Biddulph notes that psychologists noticed a sudden plunge in the mental health of girls about five years ago.
That -- not coincidentally, he thinks -- was about the time texting and cell-phone cameras became ubiquitous. Combined with 24-hour access to free porn, the technology is putting girls under tremendous peer pressure to "perform."
The average teen girl is now “stressed and depressed in a way never seen before,” he told the London Telegraph.
In case you don't have any daughters to worry about, Biddulph has a book for
"Raising Boys" too.
