And also that reminds me of an incident. I was in my ceramics class in high school when this girl said in a conversation with her friends that "innocent people can potentially have the dirtiest minds."
And in a way, what she said can hold true. Sometimes the more "innocent" become more "curious"......and as the saying goes, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Because they may not be able to deal with things that they were never exposed to.....so these unfamiliar influences/situations seem more confusing, exciting, thrilling, scary......and they don't know how to handle the newness of it.
It's not healthy to over-shelter kids from something as impossible as encounters with the opposite gender. Better to educate them, give them the gift of knowledge.
