LYDIA, 14, was just chatting with a 28-year-old stranger who saw her picture on networking website Friendster and told her she was 'hot'. Within 20 minutes, he offered her $500 for sex.

Her experience was one of numerous stories that came from 50 teenagers between 11 and 19 who spoke to The Straits Times last week.
