Kids grow up so fast

Today, I was babysitting my barely-pubescent cousins, and they started talking about giving blowjobs to their "boyfriends". When I got mad at them, telling them they shouldn't be thinking of that stuff, they said I was just pissed because I "haven't gotten laid." FML

Don't even trip, OP. Sex should be saved for that someone special. Unlike your cousins, who probably have STDs already.

Thats when you say 'Well yall still need a babysitter' id tell their parents

All the people cursing "kids today" should remember people having sex at an early age is far from a new occurance. In Ancient Rome girls would be married at 14 and be excpected to start popping out babies at that age as well. And while it isn't the most healthy, their bodies are ready for it and sending ut signals to encourage it. Just because social norms have changed does not mean hormones will oblige. If anything, just the oppisite, as girl's bodies are maturing more quickly now. And this is all combined with rampent sexualization of women in every form of media, reaching into every place. Which means parents need to be extra good about explaining things to their kids if they wish them to follow their social norms and not what their peers are telling them.

Wow. Your comment is so intelligent, tactful, and well-informed. Thank you for writing that.

That didn't change the rate girls matured at. Also, the life expectancy was so low due to high infant and child mortality rates. If you survived childhood you could expect to live a long life. Baiscally, they weren't rounding the age of a bunch of people dying in their 20s to 40s, they were round many people under 10 dying with the rest dying mostly in their 60s-70s. Statistics don't always provide the most accurate look on something.

Man I'm not having kids for at least 10 years, and this is how bad it is now.. Makes me scared to have children

Getting mad won't teach them about sex. You should have had a healthy conversation. It's obvious they already talk about stuff like that now it's time to teach them to be safe and smart and about the consequences.

I'm so ashamed to be part of this generation...just imagine how bad the next ones will be!

Whenever people say "children are the future", I get very, very frightened.

I love how people are actually acting like a 12 year old child is ready to take on the emotional and physical consequences to having sex. The parents need to be informed now, before they either end up with a child having a child, or a child with an STD. Unbelievable.
