Recently in Brazil an 18 year old girl, Rebecca Bernardo posted a YouTube video auctioning off her virginity. She had been debating on whether or not to auction her virginity but when her mother had a stroke she made the decision to do it. She needed the money to help her mother and without her high school diploma she cannot make enough money to support her mother. In my personal opinion this should not have even been an option, even if you are desperate for money. After the video was posted a TV network in Brazil offered to pay her mother’s medical expenses if she did not go through with the auction, initially she accepted but then later turned it down. This just makes the situation even worse, now that she’s actually getting noticed she won’t accept the money or help that others have offered, she just wants the attention and honestly this is the problem with society today, we think it is a good thing to promote things like selling your virginity or advertising teen pregnancy, that’s what MTV does with their show “Teen Mom” and it has got to stop, this encourages more teens to do the same thing because they are getting attention but what they don’t realize is that this attention is not good! This girl should have accepted the money from the TV network and she would have been fine but now she’s doing it all for the attention while her mother is still sick at home. I think once she got the attention she forgot about her mother and got wrapped up in it, I think in a few years when no one remembers who she is she is going to think that what she did was stupid and that she should have accepted the money, she is honestly coming off as an idiot trying to sell her virginity, I don’t think her mother would want help that way.
