I don't think normal parents have any understanding of how resilient kids really are. I worked with teens out of college & I'm fostering a 17 year old. With very few exceptions, the kids have just been goofy dumb sweet kids, even with basically zero protection from the world. https://twitter.com/Nicole_Cliffe/status/1044963290051301376 …
What fucks kids up is slowly facing the grinding reality of a lack of access to opportunities, particularly the lack of opportunities to meaningfully serve their communities, be relied on, & be respected in the world. Not porn. Even the really bad stuff. That just slides off.
