Macur, Juliet. "In Steubenville Rape Case, a Lesson for Adults." New York Times, 26 Nov. 2013. pp. 1-4. Accessed 10 Nov. 2016.

This source is a periodical from New York Times. I selected this source because it is about a rape case in Steubenville about two teenage football players raping a teenage girl at a party, the exact circumstance that happened in Friendswood. Like the case in Friendswood, people in the town who knew about the event did not tell the authorities, as well as the super attendant of the school district all the students attended. I am going to incorporate this article into my essay because this is a non-fictional Friendswood situation and an example on how alcohol is a factor in many teenage rapes. 

Meyer, Anneke. "“Too Drunk To Say No”." Feminist Media Studies, vol. 10, no. 1, 2010, pp. 19-34, Academic Search Premier . Accessed 10 Nov. 2016.

My thesis statement is about how binge drinking has become an issue for the teenage culture, and it has an influence on teenage rape rates. This article has to do with the idea of consent and if someone is drunk, they can not give consent. The article includes examples of rape court cases, and scientific studies linking binge drinking to rape.

Vinogradov, Sophia, et al. "Patterns of behavior in adolescent rape." American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, vol. 58, no. 2, Apr. 1988, pp. 179-187, EBSCOhost. Accessed 10 Nov. 2016.

This article includes many statistics that can support my thesis about the connection between drugs/alcohol and teenage rape. For example, the article states "48 of 67 rape episodes...the offender described himself as under the influence". They also stated that in their study of 67 California rape cases done by 63 teenagers, there was a noticeably pattern of drugs and alcohol involved with the rape.
