Re: Teens Are Not too Young for Depression
See yeah I don't agree with just not teaching them about these things. Maybe not when they don't need them, but definitely when they do. When a 3 year old discovers the stove, it's okay to let them know that touching it will really really hurt them, so they know the consequences. When a 12 or 13 year old discovers feelings of sexuality, it's okay to talk to them about it. Warn them. Hell even punish them for doing something stupid. Sheltering never helped anyone - I'm a firm believer that people should be exposed to the world as they grow into it, slowly, instead of sheltered and indoctrinated with falsities until they suddenly "get older" and it all slams into them with some mighty crash, and the proper support isn't there for them because "oh, you're old enough to handle it. Back then you weren't."
