Who is more likely to succed a person who was censored and told about the worlds realities at the right age or a person who was dropped the "bomb about sex and drugs" at the mere age of 6?.

probably the person who was told about those things as he or she asked questions and had answers given at age appropriate levels.  For example, all a six year old needs to know is that when two grown up people are in love with each other they can make a baby together and the baby grows in the mom's tummy. \n\nThe reasons that this child is more likely to succeed in life have more to do with the higher shance that they have attentive parents than when and how they are told about sex.

That's what I've been saying for years.  When kids try mary jane for the first time they find out that their parents and their school is full of crap and that it isn't as bad as they were told.  So, of course they suspect they are being lied to about other things as well.  All the war on drugs does is breed mistrust among the younger generation.  It has had no appreciable effect on drug use whatsoever.

Out of these two gals, I would like to choose the other is indipendent in making her own decisions who likes to take charge of her life all by herself.\n\nBecause 60% of ppl are only give advise to see the family drama and according to human psychology anybody (I am not taking example of any girl, being a guy so I use word "anybody" here) can accept the advice which comes from the helping hand, sympathetic touch whether it is good or not, he/she accpet it. BUT I think anybody should be more mature and be having wisdom of understanding to make any decicion freely and also I am not advising here not to ask other's opinion too.

Pedophiles are almost always self identified straight men, no matter who the victim happens to be.\nIt's about power and control.  Not so much about sex.

im not sure i understand your question.  i think youre asking which is worse: drugs or sex?  well, they are both highly addictive and depending on the persons personality can completely absorb someone.  If i had to chose though, i would say that drugs are definitely more harmful to the body.  they can cause all sorts of side effects down the road.  though it sounds like your b/f comes from a troubled home.  maybe his parents were users and his sex addiction is his way of acting out on his addictive personality.  if you think that he has a problem, bring it up to him.  but don't make fights out of it.  if he has grown up in a troubled home he will only reject those fights.  try and let him understand that what he is doing is not healthy and offer that he seek help. \n\ni hope that helped.

Did the war effect people's attitude, and was this attitude expressed in music? If so, as you say, it was the attitude of those who didn't go to war that changed. I'm just brain-storming here. Those who changed with respect to their music were generally younger. Did these younger people resist their parents' teachings more after the war, or were the parents less strict about passing there religion onto their children? What would make the parents do this - a greater respect for freedom? People don't change themselves so easily, but did they become less strict, thereby giving their children messages on a less obvious level, encouraging to do things that they, themselves, would not do? I'm not sure how old Hugh Hefner was, but I think he was young at the time he started playboy. If the younger ones were more free to express themselves without restraint, and this freedom was expressed dominantly in the media, this would itself effect the younger people - something like positive feedback. Just off the top of my head.

Maybe they don't know what's going on. Unfortunately...child pornography happens in many places all over the world. So it's not anything new that they feel is worth a story. Who knows? The media is weird.

Actually kids would probably do a more compassionate job than either political party.  Screw the dems and repub;icans .  You have convinced me.  Vote Nickolodeon.\n\nAnd if they go to war they are so grounded. lol

Yes, I think such websites should be more specific. There is a world of difference between an adult molesting a child and a teenager having a relationship with someone who is a couple of years younger but happens to still be a minor.

Actually it is the other way round. It is because of the social (or whatever you want to call it) 'revolution' in the US, that you ask this question at all. \n\nThe fact is that most people don't know how to 'use' this "greatest experience". It is in fact great, but from my own experience I can say, that the first time (I was 14) meant pretty much nothing and, until I got into a real relationship at 18 (I don't think the exact age is significant) it still wasn't, what it can be. \n\nAt the same time, to tell who is ready when is impossible. It really shouldn't be controlled by law, but since Americas population is quite crooked THIS IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION. If it wasn't illegal, how could you put in jail the filthy bastards, that take advantage of young girls. In the old times, this was not a question, in a good community, the family and friends, would just beat the guy to death.\n\n+ Of course most people at young age are careless. I know of many girls, who ruined their lives at very young age, because of a night with a guy. I would like to see statistics on how many of these guys stick with the girl and help raising the child. The results of this are terrible, I know from my own experience, that it is almost impossible for a young mother to raise a child alone properly.\nI just want to mention the sexual diseases, that are also a great threat.

knowledge is power baby..:-D, welcome to the information highway, where we no longer have to believe what we've been thought in school, this is the place where no matter how much they try to censor, you can still find out any kind of information on anything you can possibly think, who'd have thought.... More Power To The People\n\nR3dm0\n\nInformation comes with a price, is it worth losing our innocence over...??

My daughter was only 5 when her friend's dad touched her where he shouldn't and mushy kissed her.  I went to cops, then was sent to family services where they interviewed her on video.  She did a really good job talking about 3 incidences.  Cops interviewed other kids who had complained about the guy and his own kids as well.  Nothing came of this because the prosecutor decided not to proceed on the basis that my daughter did not know the exact date...she was 5 for crying out loud, how would she be expected to know that!!?

I think  it is more "Terror of War" my son is getting real close to 18 and it scares me everyday to think of him at war . I don't think I could bear the idea of not knowing if he were safe or not.

From a developmental point of view, children around the ages of 4-6 understand "right" vs. "wrong". By this age, they also have empathy.\n\nMind you, they don't have a total grasp of all the concepts but they basically know that hurting people and things is wrong. However, children of this age aren't able to grasp the total consequences of their actions and still act impulsively.\n\nMove that age bracket up to pre-teen years. By this age, children know full well the consequences of their actions. For example, they know death is a permanent condition. They know they can cause serious bodily harm with a bat or a BB gun. In other words, they know better.\n\nChildren younger than 10 should probably be handled as special cases up to a point. Children that are older should be held accountable for their actions. They may not be adults by legal definition, but they certainly know what killing someone will do.\n\nPunishment should fit the crime except for a few special circumstances (insanity or other mental problems).\n\nAs far as negligence goes, I do believe it is over-used. It's popular because lawyers can claim negligence as opposed to willful intent. Proving willful intent can be quite difficult, so unless the prosecutor has a real iron-clad case a plea deal is worked out for the lesser charge.\n\n~X~

YES!!!!!  Only fully informed children are protected from abuse/pregnancy/disease/etc.  The age of consent is a society thing - lack of knowledge does NOT prevent abuse, disease or pregnancy.

I have heard (from radio therapists, etc.) that it is completely normal for children to be curious that way.  Even that siblings under the age of ten usually have some sort of sexual interaction. I remember messing with the girl across the street.  Does that help?

It would have to be the 2nd person who is making porn movies. At least the 1st person as a child admitted his wrongfulness.If these 2 were abused sexually, who was the abuser? the abuser is the one that sthe blame for how these 2 turned out. People want to blame a child for the way they act when really its the parents fault for allowing these kids to act as though.
