@mattskala We're going to have to end the shame of nudity and sexuality or we will have to give up our right to privacy from the government. It seems like the conservative / puritanical crowd seems to think suppressing and shaming children is a good thing and these suicides are the cost of keeping society under their control.

I'm pretty sure they're going to lose this battle. They can't keep the kids away from information anymore, and that information also includes sexual expression.

Perhaps if we just... taught them what's appropriate for their age instead of trying to shelter them until they're 18+... we might actually get somewhere.

This can be accomplished without sexualizing children. Europe doesn't have really these problems and it seems their children grow up to be much more level-headed adults than we get in the USA...

The trick is for the USA to not get caught up in overcorrecting for this problem which will only lead to a setback. But I don't even know where we begin when they've successfully convinced half the country that teachers are all evil and we can't possibly homeschool all kids
