I was just reading news articles on yahoo news like I do every day, several times daily. I came across this article about tweens, basically 8-12 yr olds having similar interests and behaviorisms as their older teen counterparts. I thought this article was interesting, as I agree with it's premise, basically that children nowadays truly do seem to be "maturing" at much earlier ages, like 8-12 as opposed to anytime before the last decade when similar behaviors were primarily exhibited in only teenagers. Such as sexual behavior, sexually oriented toys (brats, etc.), songs nowadays introducing children on the airwaves to songs written (or at least performed maybe not written) by artists like these rap songs out there that are plainly and grossly about sex and violence. Also, movies are more violent and sexually laden then they ever were before the last decade or so. Guess my question is, read this article... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061125/ap_on_re_us/teen_tweens
Strong evidence?
