I struggle with the language, Eric, and do my best with dictionaries, which
assure me that "high school" is the American English term for what we call
"secondary school" (= students from 11 to 18). If "high school" does not
mean "junior high" and "senior high" combined then, again, I stand
corrected, and will kick the dictionary around the room in indignation.

All I have to do now, it seems, is accept that the statistic is true (i.e.,
that nearly every high school girl is practising a form of prostitution) and
we are in agreement on this matter.

Thank you for explaining it all so carefully to me.
