Youth today collect disorders like trophies. It's the new identity thing.

And it's truly sad. My 11 year old grand child is questioning their sexuality and they said: "I'm not sure what I am."

It's heartbreaking. We didn't have to think about our sexuality--it just was. No one expected us to declare ourselves! We didn't have to choose a sexuality. At eleven years old, my grand child is barely aware of sexuality, it's just coming onto the horizon, and it's already becoming complicated for them before it's fully in the picture of their puberty.

I agree about Reddit posters, and now that school is out, the quality of comments/posts has taken a steep dive. It's a known phenomena on Reddit. I find myself coming to it much less the past week since the subs are noticeably taking a teenaged hit. And YOUNGER! I discovered I was interacting with a ten year old one afternoon, and I physically cringed and closed out the discussion. And I'm a grandmother, not a creepo. It just worried me to find myself having a conversation with a ten year old child online, who was open about their age within a few moments.
