The first time I heard about porn, I was in seventh grade and I was on the bus. A group of guys were talking about it and the guy I liked was talking about the girl in the video. He was saying she's the kind of girl he needed. Reminder: I had never heard of porn, but at that time I wanted to be like the girl my crush liked. When I got home, I went into my parents' room and made sure they weren't around. I looked up the website they were talking about and after two minutes I was sure I didn't want to be like her and I didn't like him anymore. I was shocked and quite disgusted. That video was shocking, but as I grew up it became the norm to hear kids talk about porn, especially in high school. Even though it was the “norm,” I knew it wasn't normal. While it's clear why some kids watch it for entertainment or to relieve stress, it can have harmful effects on them. There are people who really support porn; they are considered pro-pornography. They like porn and see it as useful for people. When people decide to watch porn, it's out of curiosity, boredom, or because they want to watch something they want. Whatever it is, porn has become a way for people to find what they want and feel like they're not the only one who enjoys it. Nadine Strossen states: "Sexually explicit materials may be the only source of sexual information or pleasure for many people who,...do not have sexual contact with others: shy or inhibited people, people with disabilities, people with emotional problems, people gay people who are confused, people who are quite young or old, people who are geographically isolated or unattractive” (164).
