[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 268900, member: 6479"] What a balance beam to walk!!!! - sometimes I'm happy I've got Sis to deal with, not a boy-difficult child. Different set of problems, but at least they're ones somewhat similar to my own experience! :) difficult children and porn - that's a rough one. Personally, I don't know a single adult male who hasn't looked at porn - I'm an internet generation baby. The WWW was just getting started as we hit our teens - so we grew up with it as less of a taboo topic, not something as "dirty and wrong" as it used to be. If it makes you feel any better, none of my friends grew up to objectify women as pure sex objects. Some of them aren't particularly interested now, but ALL of them were interested when they were 14. I was close to a bunch of guy friends at that age, and they were all porn-crazy. It's curiosity as to what goes on, what things look like, and it's simple happiness for the nakey ladies. Even if the stuff you find seems a little "out there", it's again, probably more curiosity than "that's my bag, baby!". So I guess that's the question - where do you go from saying, "Oh, it's typical teen behavior" to "Ehhh, my difficult child is starting to obsess and behave inappropriately.". It's like a parent-child dance - every parent says "No porn!" and every kid says "Yes porn!". And every kid sneaks into the stuff (computer, friend's house, etc), and every parent tries to shut them down. Seems like a really strange dynamic. No idea what the solution is, though! Side note, I find porn funny. We used to have "Bad Porn and Pizza" nights in college. To each his/her own, I guess. :) [/QUOTE]
