Some of us worked at McDonald's. Some of us worked in the campus bookstore. Some of us waited table. I doubt that ANY of us would have thought of selling our virginity to pay our tuition.
A STUDENT is so hard up she has decided to make the ultimate sacrifice ...she is selling her virginity to the highest bidder on the internet.
So far more than 400 men, many of them sickos, have placed bids offering 18-year-old Rosie Reid up to £10,000 for sex.
The drastic action has left Rosie's parents sickened. Her doctor dad has told her she "is selling her soul". Her nurse mum is outraged.
And Rosie is even willing to sleep with a man despite it being abhorrent to her—she is a LESBIAN....
Rosie said: "The way things are going, I'll leave university £15,000 in debt. That's why I'm taking drastic action."
She started her Bachelor of Science degree in social policy at the University of Bristol three months ago and is already £3,000 in debt.
Rosie estimates her three-year course at the university, where Prime Minister Tony Blair's son Euan is also a student, will cost her £7,500 a year....
"It seemed that my virginity was something really valuable yet at the same time something I could do without. With £10,000 in the bank I could work less. I could live comfortably until the end of my course and concentrate on my studies.
Whatever you think of the relative morality (or lack thereof) of this stunt, you can't say that Ms. Reid isn't thinking outside the box. It may not be the way that you or I might choose to defray our debts, but if this is the way she has chosen, I wish Ms. Reid well. I just hope that it gets her what she is looking for.
