Underage prostitution happens more than people realize. 

Prostitution is the second most profitable crime worldwide

70% of underage prostitution comes from kids in foster care

99.1% of child offenders sentenced to prison; their average sentence was 104 months

I see and hear more people talking about how horrible the LGBTQIA plus community is, but I don’t see anyone talking about sex trafficking. People want to say they are pro-life but turn their heads away from the lives that are already here and need help. To anyone who has experienced or is experiencing any abuse, I am deeply sorry and wish I could do more, but if you need a place to go, visit https://www.1800runaway.org. They are here to help. And to anyone who is part of the LGBTQIA-plus community, I want you to know you are perfect in every way; you are not an abomination or weird; you are just you. Always remember to love yourself;  And never change for anyone. If you are happy and do not hurt anyone, then what is the problem? Nothing. I do wish you all happiness and healing in your life and situations.
