Well... The only problem i would have with my child saying that to me is that i don't have balls.
Also, if they were educated properly, they'd know that they didn't 'live in Dad's balls' or 'my ovaries' and it shouldn't phase them at all, except for the fact that the fertilisation, repication and differentiation process is super complicated, which i'd teach them if they could understand it.

and a guy who likes being a princess is TOTALLY NOT GAY!

What, I said this. Bella is princess bitchface.

I know thong - my school finds it very disturbing that trend.

Also:

The average age at which the onset of puberty occurs has dropped significantly since the 1840s.[36][37][38] Researchers[who?] refer to this drop as the 'secular trend'. In every decade from 1840 to 1950 there was a drop of four months in the average age of menarche among Western European females. In Norway, girls born in 1840 had their menarche at an average age of 17 years. In France the average in 1840 was 15.3 years. In England the average in 1840 was 16.5 years. In Japan the decline happened later and was then more rapid: from 1945 to 1975 in Japan there was a drop of 11 months per decade.

That's wiki, so maybe not 100% reliable, but still. It looks like puberty is happenning earlier than in previous times. Good thing? Bad thing? I'm not going to comment. Maybe it is a good thing, but should we try to bring it lower is the quesion. I'm not too sure it'd be wise.

I actually have a question - is there any scientific evidence that puberty is occurring earlier than in previous historical periods (mainly pre-Sexual revolution)?

I have heard that all the preservatives and processed crap today is causing girls to get their periods earlier, but i'm unsure as to how this relates to the actual hormonal aspect of puberty

exactly you can't expect them to understand that with their small vocabulary. their string of thought would be "so daddy went in you and i came out?!"

 

[thongetsu]

wow at the trend.

 

[kfnmpah]

I'd dumb it down, of course until they were older. It's really not that hard
"Dad's sperm went into the egg in my uterus and grew into a bundle of cells. Each cell has information in it that tells it whether it is part of one of your legs or your heart" shit like that.
To be able to educate your kids you have to obviously be educated yourself or all you'll be able to tell them is "daddy went in me and you came out"

 

[thongetsu]

lol but would a little kid know what a uterus or sperm and then they'd be curious about what cells look like etc

 

[brendroid]

You show them the funny little model of DNA - that one that looks like it's made of some kind of lego lol

 

[thongetsu]

but then you'd have to explain that

That is not difficult to explain. When I was growing up my parents had a bunch of those 'where did I come from books' but also had books that had proper diagrams of the male and femals reproductive systems.

Stop trying to be difficult just for the sake of it, it's very frustrating.

I doubt a little kid would care if you told them what a DNA was. You just tell them it contains all the information that makes them look and act differently to everyone else.

Stop being annoying and pedantic.

 

[brendroid]

You weren't criticising my comment about the DNA model were you?

*worried*

 

[thongetsu]

i wasnt and kids are curious creatures!

 

[Fish Tank]

doesn;t that shit kicks in at puberty?

Yeh, why make it kick in earlier is the question. Probably not what people are arguing, but someone out there's bound to think it's best to tell 6 year olds about making the beast with two backs.

 

[thongetsu]

fish tank you are lagging!

 

[kfnmpah]

You weren't criticising my comment about the DNA model were you?

*worried*

No.
The other kid that keeps questioning everything I say is being annoying and pedantic.
*Back to physics study I go*

 

[brendroid]

Have fun with Physics then

 

[thongetsu]

eeewie physics

 

[thongetsu]

only kidding physics is alright
