Pimped: The shocking true story of the girl sold for sex by her best friend

Product Information

I burst through this in an afternoon, and was surprised by how good the writing was. Samantha is moved from one foster home to the other in her early years. One day she meets an older girl called Amanda who introduces her to the exciting world of parties, alcohol and drugs - but it is not until it's too late that Samantha realises she is part of a deal Amanda has to exploit young girls to older men for sex. Completely under Amanda's spell, Sammy will do anything she says, but at what cost? Sex workers should also learn from pimps and, often, should resist and avoid pimps unless they add real and practical value to their lives.

Pimped by Samantha Owens | Goodreads

The author of this book, Samantha Owens, doesn’t spare the details of the horrors her childhood and teenage years held and it can be very hard to read at times. Law 34: Show Respect to Get Respect: “treat people the way you want to be treated. at least to their faces”

The pimp is the boss, and there are two things employees love most: undermining the boss, and undermining each other“ I had to give up on this book about 35% into it because I didn't believe most of the things she was saying. The vast majority of child sex offenders in England and Wales are male, with men representing 98% of all defendants in 2015/16, and white, with whites representing 85% of convicted child sex offenders and 86% of the general population in 2011. Asians represent 8% of the general population of England and Wales as of 2011. A 2011 analysis by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command of 940 possible offenders reported for "street grooming and child sexual exploitation" found that 38% were white, 36% were Asian, while 32% were of an unknown ethnicity.”) It is well known that this “grooming of young children” is going on & in spite of the bravery of Samantha speaking openly about it there is never enough priority given to bringing these evil, twisted perverts to justice.

It kills me that this child couldn't find attention in other avenues. I continue to preach that girls are mean because we are. We tend to be against each other rather than support each other. Maybe if Samantha felt like there was some place else to go, she wouldn't have felt the need to impress Ashley so much. The value of this game is in learning how to pimp the same way that Uncle Sam, big business, and power brokers in this world pimp”I was only 13 and had little knowledge about the game. So I was into square shit, such as falling in love. I had other girls, but I thought Candy was the one. One of the biggest misconceptions is that a pimp is someone who wears loud suits and big hats (…) Those are clowns, not pimps. Everyone loves a clown, but no one wants to take a clown home”.
