Sure thing because the last 100 years in which we have people like you, undue the entirety of humanities history where people gained knowledge about people by interacting with people just fine.

So when I say that they are to blame for what they did and point out that their parents have fucked up even more than the parents of these kids I am refusing to condemn them?

Sure I was thinking more in general terms, who knows what is happening here there are so many variables that go into human intimacy and we don't even know half of the story here.

Sure interacting with of kids almost every day for 7 years of their life from when they are 10 to when they are 17 lends me no authority to speak on the comments section of a blog.

I get your point and it's quite valid, but at the same time imagine you just said that about women speaking about rape culture, heck you don't even have to imagine it if you have ever read the comments or been to a wide discussion of rape, you will have heard people using very similar arguments to yours.

Wait so you are saying the parents are the victims here? Do you believe young girls are only the extensions of their parents and thus not real humans who can be victims themselves? That is one really sexist point of view to hold.

This is why I am a firm advocate of having sex as fast as possible in a relationship especially if you enjoy sex, there are not many deal breakers out there but not having a sex life you and your partner enjoy will not end well, better to find out sooner then latter.

Music teacher and it was more then 25 years ago, naturally it's not always the parents fault in every single situation, but I am not going to write a wall of text detailing a water tight theory on teen psyche or I would probably be in a very different field than I am now.

I was making the point that that particular question in the current climate of feminists often arguing about the benefits of feminism to men, should not be lumped in with the other ignorant questions on that list, because it can be asked specifically in response to that ideological stance or to shine a light on deep…

Only is not the right word to describe 11% people who think someone they know will get Ebola unless the poling was done in western Africa.

I think it's somewhere between 16-19. Sure there are many factors, but having worked with kids from all walks of life poor and rich the fucked up ones usually were like that because of something their parents did wrong and it's really easy to mess with kids the balance is really hard to find and I don't think I did…

So you are saying that it's just pure luck that some kids don't share their nudes online with strangers and are not looking for a job in the escort industry, and that it has nothing to do with parents developing bonds with their children and nurturing their critical thinking abilities and their self-respect?

I probably did not make my point clear enough in the first place.

Since when does your average teen send nudes to strangers in hopes of getting an escort job?

This one.

Yes they have, I think that is quite obvious, but that does not change the fact that if your underage child is selling him or herself online you have also failed as a parent.

I have three the youngest is 23.

Sorry for not writhing a response longer than the article I am responding to.

Sure self respect does not prevent people of any age from doing anything for a little bit of money or attention.

Sure the skeezy adults are the ones committing a crime, but it's the parents who are making it a really easy crime to commit.
