After a freedom of information request the BBC revealed 5,500 sexual offences were recorded in UK schools between 2011 and 2014. Over 600 were rapes, and 1/5th of offences were carried out by children on children. As a result of this publication there will be a Commons committee inquiry to establish who is offending and whether incidents are rising. The committee wants teachers, students, parents and youth organisations to share experiences and knowledge. It has already gathered the views and experiences of 300 UK youngsters in a pilot study, and found that in school corridors and playgrounds sexually charged behaviour drives young people's physical interactions: it permeates their life online 24/7. They're feeling pressurised into sex, with fear of being branded 'frigid' by their peers if they detach themselves from the moral belief scene. Some reported 'being bullied for being a virgin'. Some teachers brush off incidents of sexual assault because of the young age of students.
