I made out with a girl at the bus stop when I was 12. For what it's worth, I was shamed for it (I'm a male) by a teacher who witnessed it. That teacher bitched her head off at me, but it was quite impossible to wipe the smile off my face (not that I've ever been one to really care about getting bitched at, but still, I don't usually find it amusing). I made out with a girl for the first time, and it was perfectly harmless. Still to this day (being an adult myself by now), I have no idea why that pisses adults off so bad. It's part of growing up, and when you're teen angsty, and life sucks, there's not much that can make you feel worth something quite like the attention of a young lady.
Great article, and an example of some stellar parenting, in my opinion.
It'll be interesting to see how the next generation grows and approaches social issues like sex - the social justice trend that most teens go to has a heightened reach now, I think, with social media et cetera - not necessarily causing immediate social or political change, but managing to reach a huge amount of people. The concept of 'slut-shaming' has become a lot more obvious and prevalent in the past few years, and people like this person teaching things like this to their kids is going to have a hugely positive effect on the future, I'd say.
Speaking of slut-shaming, an incident at an Eminem concert has recently made headlines; basically, a girl was photographed performing fellatio on two guys, and the pictures were spread across Twitter and Facebook, liberally accompanied by slut-shaming rhetoric. A lot of people are pretty disgusted by the whole thing.
I couldn't find the pictures in question, google's anti child-porn filters are incredible. As soon as they found out she was younger than 16, google starts removing results featuring those pictures. I could find them elsewhere, but I was behooved to comment on google's kiddy-porn filter.
As for all the commentary, poor girl. I don't even know what she's done but large parts of the internet are angry.
