I'm well aware of that. Our neighbors have kids about that age. Some of their female friends (8th&9th graders) are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
It sure wasn't like that when I was a kid....
Yeah. Dang it.
BTW, I want to reiterate that I made a specific reference to "talking." I don't want to give the misimpression that I have had to extract myself from situations more...(ahem)...advanced than that.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I authored a thread about it. "The Lost Children of Rockdale County" was about the shocking results of an investigation of the high rate of syphilis among teens in an upper-class town on the outskirts of Atlanta. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of the special:
By the time the investigation concluded, seasoned public health investigators trained not to be judgmental would be startled by what they found. There were 14-year-olds who had had up to 50 sex partners, sixth-graders competing for the sexual attention of high school students, girls in sexual scenes with three boys at once. In one case, according to the film, a girl at a party with 30 to 40 teens volunteered to have sex with all the boys there -- and did. "My heart dropped," Cooper said. "I felt nauseated. I wanted to cry."
