                                                     PROSTITUTION

 

 It’s wrong to take money for sex, and it’s wrong to pay money for sex. But even though this might be true, this is a free country, and if you mess up your life, that’s your fault, nobody can make you do anything. There are these stupid women with no dignity that go half nude into a public street where they sell their bodies to complete strangers they have never seen before. That’s what I used too say. But now I’m like, it’s their life. If prostitution makes them happy, that’s their problem.     

 

These ladies are putting their lives in danger, and they know that too, so if that's what they want to do, then that's what they'll do. As young as 14 years old, Victoria turned to prostitution (which was he choice.) She came from a nice middle class family, but just wasn't satisfied with the money she had, and didn't think that babysitting paid enough. She wanted more, fast easy money for her jewelry, clothes and makeup. She thought that getting 150 dollars in 5 minutes was worth the pay. She started off with a phone call in a chat room. There she met guys that were desperate for it.  She grew more and more interested in this. She had made her mind to prostitution. 100% yes. Her and the guy would talk a little in his car, and then find a place to park. The men didn’t know how old she was. She told them she was 19, and didn’t know she had sex for money 15 times. Eventually, she told them how old she was, but they still came back for more. But sooner or later, she decided too screw the jewelry, clothes, and makeup, and instead spend her dirty money on cocaine. "It seemed like I didn’t care for anything anymore, I contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and that makes me feel horrible", Victoria says. This statement made me realize that from all the times she had sex with guys, she felt disgusted with herself, and she didn’t care bout anything. And then she realized what she was doing wrong but she still couldn’t stop, because she needed money to pay for cocaine, which she was now addicted to. In a five-country study, it was found that 89% of prostitutes want to leave, and approximately, 40% wanted a drug treatment. Often, the need to feed a drug addiction keeps them prostituting, which is a vicious circle. When she turned 15, she got diagnosed with Chlamydia. Yes, I feel bad for Victoria, but it was her stupid decision to get herself into this mess. "I hope that any other girl out there thinking about doing something like this just doesn’t do this, find some other way to make money" says Victoria while getting interviewed by Tyra Banks. All I have to say to this is, everything has a consequence. And to bad for her, she got a bad consequence, drugs and diseases. To bad to sad for her. Victoria would sneak outside her window at night for business. It makes me scared, that there is people outside who can have a normal live by hurting those of others. I think that these things need a LOT more attention then global warming or Justin Beiber, because their lives are in danger, and I care about their lives, just not their decisions.

 

 

  A way of preventing their death if they want to live is too get check ups. A checkup for STD’s or aids, things like that. They should also do it in some legal states, just so they wont get into trouble. If I were a prostitute, I'd go too Ohio. There, I can work whenever I want. But I wouldn't be a prostitute because that would be stupid. This is a quote from "Believeyoume" in a debate room, "Absolutely. It could be regulated, meaning the prostitutes could be tested and would no longer have to submit to cruel "pimps." Prostitution is also something that some women enjoy, despite what people may believe, and it's a much-needed public service."

  I agree with this statement on legalization because it's true. With the women being tested, there would be no worrying bout STD’s. And they don’t need those pimps. The pimps only take their money, and beat them, and lower their self-esteem so they think they're worth nothing, and are forced to prostitute. Some people may say something like this lady "ASDF789" in the same debate room as this man: What? No. Prostitution degrades women. There are other legal ways to make money, like something called a job. Besides, what effect would this have on little girls? That they don't have to get an education but go into prostitution instead because they could make money faster? It sends the wrong message." I disagree with this lady because first of all, she says prostitution isn’t a job. OF COURSE IT’S A JOB. They get paid for it don't they? And what affect would it make on little girls? She asks. Well it's the parents' job to teach their children on what they think is right. They should teach their children on what's right and wrong. And then she says: 
"That they don't have to get an education but go into prostitution instead because they could make money faster?"  Who said that’s why a prostitute decides to become a prostitute? Who said they just cut out on school and decided to take the easy way out of life and sell their body for money? Maybe the prostitute has her own story too tell and how she got there, and ASDF789 should shut up and stop assuming things. Also another solution too this whole problem is not caring.

 

Who cares! Who cares what other people do? Who cares if they become a prostitute? Who cares if they own 7 cats, 23 horses, and 765 alligators? ITS THEIR LIFE NOT YOURS SO STAY OUT OF IT. It’s like, mind your own business. If they choose too live life like that, you should not be hating, and appreciate that there are different personalities and choices. This is a quote by "u.suck34" in the debate room, "mAyBe EvErY oNe $HoUlD mInD tHeIr OwN lIvE$ AnD $tOp CoMpLaInInG aBoUt OtHeR$ ChOiCe$." I am all over this comment. Because it’s totally correct. I think that if we all minded our own business, we would be much happier people.

 

A job is one thing, a life is another. Since prostitutes are being abused everyday by their pimps, some end up dead. They're being used! Their bodies are being stolen, and they don’t even get money out of it. Many people argue about this topic: prostitution. Should they be able to do it? Yes, no? The best solution is for everyone too not care. If they want too do it, its their choice. Don't be so nosy. No one like a nosy person:) PLEASE STOP CARING, AND MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS.
