I don't know I think it's ridiculous to hide your kid from such things, it comes to a point where it gets ridiculous. One time when I was on vacation and we were riding a trolley, they started singing 100 bottles of beer and some lady shouted pop every time they said beer and it sucked the fun out of it. They might as well know sooner or later because they are going to find out what beer is sometime. I'm not saying they should know things like hardcore sex stuff and stuff like that (though they should basic biology, of course) but other then that parents shouldn't do that. Perhaps they just want there kids to stay young forever and innocent but by the time you're 6 I think parents need to let go and let you explore and know things.
Also, there's this 16 year old kid Named Curtis at my school. His parents have pretty much dumped innocence on him. He thinks the holocaust couldn't have happened cause that would've been too violent and whenever he hears the word "sex" uttered, even when it's just a syllable (such as when the subject is sexual orientation, Sexual harrassment, or sex discrimination) he covers his ears and cowers into the fetal position. I guess his parents made him this way due to attachment issues, but that's no excuse to deny him the real world. He's 16! Don't they understand the consequences in the long run? They're pretty much ruining his life!

I think that it is dowrigth wronge to shield your children from the world. Obivously there are boundaries like sex man slaughter and torture which you wo't want to go into great detail about, but children have a RIGHT to know what is going on in the world around them.
I knew about sex when i was 7, and I am fine. I knew about slavery and the Holocaust when I was 10, I was fine. I learned about trafficing when i was 12, I was FINE.
I see it like this:
There is a speeding truck coming down the road. If you don't tell your child about it, they wont be affraid to cross the road, but they could die if they do. If you tell them about the car, they can watch for and avoid it.

But seriously, denying the holocaust on account of the violence scream scream scream stressed ? He thinks "wars" are just minor childish arguments. I notified the some of the staff at my school about this situation yet no one's doing anything about it. I'm really concerned about this kid. He'll most likely end up in a mental institution, or he'll end up like my distant 50-year-old uncle (he's a NEET).

Some parents are too lazy to tell their kids that that is wrong and that is right, so they have to shield their child and wreck everyone else's fun by boycotting violent movies or video games. They have to realise that the world won't become peaches and cream for their little pwecious tweasure, and that s**t exists. Sheltering only hinders their education. Eventually, they'll find out about sex or drugs the wrong way. What if someone offered them heroin and they had no idea what the ******** that was because their parents never told them? They'll only end up in hot water that way.
This is why, if I ever had kids, I would let them know WHAT TO DO if they saw such things. If someone offered them candy and a ride home, I'd tell them don't do it because they would end up assaulted or even killed. I would let them see acts with some form of violence (including cartoon violence) as long as I let them know that they should never practice such a thing. They can see it, but not do it.
A parent should not act as a constant censor. They should give their kids some credit. Children are not impressionable. It's not like they would screw someone if they heard the word sex. It's not like they would kill anyone if they heard the word murder. It's not like they would take drugs if they heard the name of said drug. They have minds too, and they are capable of telling right from wrong. That ability shouldn't be numbed by overprotective "parents" who don't have faith in their ******** kids!

That has to be breaking some kind of law or something. My mom told me about sex when I was little and I honestly never really cared. I watched this kids show on pbs about the american revolution and it talked about slavery, war, discrimination, violence and everything. And how can you deny the holocaust due to violence. Some people will be really upset if you try to deny that and who knows what they could do. How can you even go through school like that? You'd fail history, health, probably science, there's so many classes that you'd just be doomed in.

The really sad thing is he can't live that way for long. Sometime soon something will happen that will burst his perfect world bubble, and he will be completely and totally uprepared for it. I'm wondering how someone this "sheltered" is not a complete and total target at school. There are a lot of mean teens out there, and they usually go for people like this. Anyways, I feel sorry for the kid.

I believe that the way a parent chooses to raise their child is nobody's business but their own. Of course there are exceptions such as abuse or neglect, however you do not get to decide when is an appropriate time for someone's child to learn something. If that's how young you want your children to learn about sex, drugs, alcohol, and other vices then that's your choice. Depending on how old the child was, maybe she didn't want to explain what beer was and why people drink it, at that time. There's nothing wrong with wanted your child to stay as innocent as long as possible before the world corrupts them. As for your classmate, what's wrong with that? Is any of this affecting you in any way? If it annoys you, perhaps you should pay less attention to what others' do and focus on yourself.

This kid could basically end up as a cisgendered Angela Baker.Ny uncle is in a similar situation. He doesn't deny violence, but his reaction to the syllable "sex" is similar. He's 50 and a NEET.

You can be raised in some sadistic hell hole and still come out a sane person. Just as you can be raised in the purest of environments and turn out a heathen. Your personality and mannerisms reflect on those you surround yourself with, as well as your own personal choices. I've known kids who are goody too shoes yet their parents beg them to go out and get into a little trouble. I've also known kids whos parents sheltered them their whole lives who are little trouble makers, yet know how to trick their parents into thinking they're innocent.

*facepalms* stupid parents. they need to show their children what should be taught at an early age. war is everywhere, you cant hide that. sex is natural and you cant shield them from that. i learned about sex from watching adult films lol so there's that. as for shielding children, im not gonna do that to my kid. as soon as they are old enough to understand, im gonna tell them everything

Well what I do is focus on the good qualities in others, and remind myself that no matter what their bad qualities are, I too have qualities that need work. If they're people you absolutely can't stand, then don't hang around them. Just focus on you and your life which is something the fundamentalist Christians should be doing.
