I know lots of people who have exeperienced things as a CHILD ok ..not an adult and some of you people on here ..ONLY YAHOO say things like they are pedopiles,w**res, and other things. First of all, Kids these days will get ahold of movies and try different things such as kissing, humping (whether the other kid knows about it or not), showing people things. this does not mean they are pedophiles. It's society that makes us think this way and it's kids themselevs on here saying stupid things. If it was an adult, you're pretty immature for your age and need to think about things. I can understand kids doing those things but NOT adults so don't get me wrong.

Just like i got on top and probably humped someone younger when i was a kid and some people think i'm a pedophile (probably the kids on here) it makes me laugh oh and another time when i was still a kid, i put my chest in my younger cousin's face. This yahoo answers is helpful until you have kids on here because if it was an adult, you need help! and are very immature to say names like wh*re or nasty f*ck

Hey, Jess,
Yes, kids will try things out just to experiment. Everyone's done some bizarre stuff as a kid. And teenagers who are dating will fool around as well, it's unavoidable.
Maybe the term "pedophile" does not work as well when a kid is doing the abuse, but let me assure you that kids do and can sexually abuse other kids.
Usually "abuse" is the term used when one kid is older than the other and is inadvertently using their power and age to manipulate or experiment on the younger child, who isn't sure what's going on.
This abuse can be emotionally devastating for the victim, just as if an adult had done it. And even if the child is too young to be able to talk about any distress, having their boundaries crossed often leads them to cross the same boundaries with younger kids when THEY'RE the older kids.
This isn't just speculation on my part. I know specific kids and people who all of these things have happened to, and who have emotional / behavior issues related to the abuse.
I understand your point in saying that kids of the same age will simply "mess around" as part of getting older and experimenting, and not end up becoming pedophiles.
But kids abusing younger children IS very real and damaging to the child who is abused. And that situation is what most of us adults are talking about in these forums.
Take care.

So are you saying that only if the "child" is just experimenting that makes it okay for a twelve year old boy to molest his 10 year old next door neighbor, and we (society) should not over react because they are only responding as children do; by mimicking adult behavior. Are you suggesting that we should not even reprimand them or explain to them that this behavior is never acceptable?
But if the individual is an adult doing these things then we should apply the label of "pedophile" and even "whore" because adults should know better?
FYI: young molestors grow up to be adult molestors. And so which part are you actually "getting sick of?" my e-address is ddevrilwalker@yahoo.com

You're right, Jess. Adults are not always very tolerant or very understanding about kid's behavior. We don't mean it in a bad way. We know from our own experiences how easy it can be to get in serious trouble just by not knowing about something. As adults, we really CAN'T approve of kid's sexual behavior because we can't assume that kids know how to be safe or how to handle sexuality and honestly we don't even want to think about kids and sex in the same thought. It makes it hard for adults to even talk to kids, even though many of us would really just like for you to know how to keep from getting hurt or from hurting someone else. The best thing you can do- honestly- is to be able to talk to your own parents about everything. That is NEVER easy, but it's the best thing to do, because you have to trust someone.
