A group of teenage girls have said they feel "worthless" and "frightened" as a result of the extreme misogyny they regularly experience.

The students, from Tyneside, have spoken out after making a film about the language they endure at school and online.

Many comments are too explicit to share, but they include threats of violence and rape often masked as "banter". One girl described how disturbed she had been after a "rape list" was made by boys in her school.

The North East has the highest rate of violence against women and girls in England and charities warned unchallenged attitudes could lead to abuse in early relationships.

One girl told the BBC she felt "worthless" after learning of the "rape list" made by boys in her school.

"Boys ordering girls, who they want to rape the most and then the least," she explained.

"It is frightening because you don't know people's real intentions."

Marchant said her charity saw generations of women using its services, with breaking the cycle of abuse having to begin by educating young people.

"We're almost having 13-year-old girls being raped by 13-year-old boys," she said.

"But nobody's told the girls that boys shouldn't do that to them, and in some cases nobody's told the boys that they shouldn't."

Mine went to a state girls school. These should be more widely available so you don’t have to pay to protect your daughter. Yes it wasn’t perfect but they avoided the harassment. Dd2 had a nasty shock starting at her mixed 6 th form.

Boys aren’t made to feel special……

is this a joke?

The patriarchy ensures that boys are ‘special.’

How so? It's a tiny percentage of rich men with all the power. If it was so great for men they wouldn't be killing themselves at 4x the rate we do.
