When you see a young kid goofing around, it’s because some adult most likely taught them to.

When I was the age she was molested, I was a fat, dumb, happy kid relatively ignorant of sex and all it's pitfalls and pleasures. My weight, wisdom and naivete would be cured in it's own time.

I can only imagine what my life would be if a predator had interfered with my "education".

Same here.

I was lucky as a kid. I actually chose to avoid certain situations, where neighborhood kids were “exploring”, if you catch my drift.

I wasn’t ready for that sort of thing, and I knew it.

Other kids got involved. I took a pass.

I would term myself a late bloomer, but it was better that way IMO.

At the time, I wasn’t always happy about it, but in time it became clear as I progressed through my adult life.
