Today, India becomes more well-known and prominent as a result of the brilliant, fantastic Bollywood movie – Slumdog Millionaire, originated from the novel – Q&A. But do you know how poor the citizens are? They lived in shanty towns and skid rows. They earn and make money by taking rubbish to sell and, of course, by prostituting to earn a lot of money. But after reading this news from BBC NEWS website, I felt shocked and astonished. The girls from good and affluent families entered this trade for quick money and, horribly, for PLEASURE! How terrible it is! They don’t think about how worried and tense their family is. Uneasily, the age of the prostitutes becomes younger and younger. The youngest one is only thirteen years old. According the statistics, it shows that nowadays teenagers develop to be extremely impulsive about material benefits. I thought there are three reasons for this horrible result:
Parents – If the girls’ parents had ruled them more strictly, and had talked to them frequently, the girls would not have entered this profession secretly for earning quick money.
Schools and government – schools’ teachers should teach their students about sex education and remind them to be self-respecting. Government should give a lesson to the public through the public media, such as advertisements and videos through TV channels, radio stations and the most populous media, the internet.
Police – They should patrol more frequently, and arrest those young prostitutes and let the sergeants give them a admonitory talk and keep the criminal records to alert them.
Finally, I wish the prostitution in India and other countries will be less serious than now and hope that teenagers like me will not be impetuous.

Delhi rich girls sell sex
By Ayanjit Sen
BBC correspondent in Delhi
Prostitution in the Indian capital, Delhi, is changing with young girls from middle-class families becoming involved in the business.
Unlike in the past, when girls from poor families were forced to take to prostitution, more and more models and even school girls have joined the profession, the authorities say.
The police say prostitution has become a huge organised business in the capital.
"These girls are all from rich and good families and they took up this profession to earn some quick money," says deputy commissioner of police, Sanjay Beniwal, reflecting on one recent operation against Delhi prostitutes.
He says some of the arrested girls were charging nearly $400 a time for deals fixed over the phone.
I do entertain big business delegations... because they can pay good money
Sheila
prostitute
The deals are fixed by pimps who arrange for the girls to meet their clients.
"Businessmen and other rich individuals no longer throng the dingy brothels in Delhi since they now have a host of upmarket call girls to choose from," the officer said.
The police sometimes, find it difficult to handle these cases because of the alleged involvement of politicians and bureaucrats.
"I do entertain big business delegations which come to Delhi and other high-profile people because they can pay good money," says a Delhi prostitute who gave her name as Sheila.
She told the BBC she buys expensive jewellery and clothes with the money she earns from this trade.
Quick money
Sheila comes from a wealthy family in the city of Chandigarh and came to Delhi a few years ago for her college studies.
She has now finished her studies and is working in a bank in the capital.
Non-governmental organisations say girls from rich families are entering the trade simply for quick money and also for pleasure.
The president of the Delhi-based Joint Women's Programme - Jyotsna Chatterjee - says there are many girls from Bombay and Bangalore who come to Delhi on Friday nights to spend the weekend with their rich clients.
"These girls are sought after for international business meetings and even some tour operators offer girls as part of holiday packages," she told the BBC.
The police say fitness centres, hotels and farmhouses have become hubs for this trade.
Massage parlours which also provide escort services and dating clubs have also increased in the capital.
The police say they have already started to clamp down on these parlours.
