What many young people see as normal in relationships is “not normal”, YMCA youth development facilitators say. YMCA South and Mid Canterbury youth and community manager Cath Slee said sexualised music videos, and pornography were easily accessible online. “l think many people would be surprised how normal sexual violence is among teenagers.They are educated by porn and the media, and they think that behaviour is normal, it’s not normal,” Slee said. Slee said it was not just about sexual relationships but all relationships with family and friends too.
