What a wonderful thing to do.
Kristen Stewart is so popular right now that is just makes sense to have her reach out to teens about such a serious subject. It’s no secret that young females tend to listen to their peers more than anyone else. So why not use someone who everyone seems to want to relate to these days? The Twilight actress recorded the following documentary which focuses on teen rape and how to avoid it at all costs.
According to the organization who sponsored the film, here are some startling facts:

Very good documentary. It’s great of her to speak about this. Rape is a serious problem. I don’t understand how someone can even do it…
She was in the movie “Speak” which concerns rape…it was a great movie!
Being a rape victim myself, it means alot to see one of my favorite actresses addressing this serious issue.
Not really a documentary, more of a PSA really.
I am a teenage girl making resaech about teen rape and this is very shocking just hoping it can stop one day
Don’t forget guys who get raped as well, it’s real. Very sad.
Wow. Very well done. Kudos to Kristen for doing such a documentary.
It’s a good thing indeed ! This is such a serious problem. I hope it will lead some sexually assaulted girls to finally speak…
Why are these different? Makes the information seem less reputable.

I was about the ask the same thing !
She was in the film Speak, probably her best work and it was about the subject.
I agree, she was amazing in Speak. I was blown away by her performance in it. I’m glad that she’s lending her “voice” to this cause.
GO Kristen…!! you are awesome!

Interresting subject. But i just really don’t like Kristin.. I can’t stand the way she speaks.. ugh, I don’t like her.
It’s great she makes this documentary and I hope she is doing it for the rigth reason, and not because she want’s people to see her film.
wow….if people who are raped don’t speak up then a lot of other girls will be hurt and put in the same situation because of them.
good job kristen….
