It seems to me that many parents are extremely over-protective and try hard to keep their children in the dark about the issues of the world. I know that there are many who don't do this, but I am surprised to see how many that do.
I knew all about the issues taking place in the world, both the good and the bad, and about the functions of human relationships, and all of that other good stuff, when I was no older than 6.
I was never banned from watching rated R movies, and I saw many horror and psychological thrillers at the same age, and it never bothered me, or screwed me up. I think it does depend on the child, but I was quite mature for my age, and able to understand the difference between fiction and reality. I even used to rationalize things to myself.
My point is, my parents never hid the facts of life from me when I was younger, and now I feel like I am more stable and able to face the world than many other people I know.
What does everyone else think?
