Parents need to talk to their tweens sooner about puberty: poll
“Without parental guidance, children may turn to social media or their peers for answers at a time when kids may be confused and potentially self-conscious. “Not talking to them just can leave them in a little bit of a vulnerable position,”

The hyper polarized atmosphere of teaching the subject in school also adds problems.

Locke hurt his penis in the bathtub and asked me to kiss it to help it feel better. So we had a conversation about sex organs, how you need to know enough to consent to that, and that that won't be for awhile for him.
"Like when I'm 4?"
"More like 16, and even then, it's inappropriate for an adult to offer."
"Ok."
He knew we were talking bout something serious and interesting. I feel like I did a good job.

A friend told me she had planned to get a classic pork pie hat for summer, which brought me to a short wikipedia trip, which led me further to a listicle on "Light academia films and shows on netflix", because someone wore a hat like that in a movie that was described as "light-academia" style, referencing the article.

As you probably know already, I got #adhd and too much work on my hands at the moment, so let me react to the listicle right now and get some good chemicals out of it.

1. #Bridgerton is not "academia", it's porn for people who don't like to admit they watch porn. Great show, enjoyed immensly, but not #lightacademia at all.

2. "Pride and Prejudice" is not "academia" and don't start me on 2005 adaptation, because I want to sit Keira Knightley in an armchair and explain to her why wearing at least short stays is essential for a Regency silhouette.

3. "Gilmore girls". OK, I admit with reluctance that it is s a modern version of light academia.

4. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the 2022 version of "Persuasion". Plus, it's not academia.

5. "Derry girls" is not light. Wonderful, insightful, funny, but there's nothing light about it and the fact they are wearing non-Wednesday school uniform doesn't make it light.

6. "Anne with an E", OK, it's kind of Edwardian, so let's give this one a pass.

7. "To all the boys..." too modern for light academia.

8. "Sex ed" see 7.

9. "Call me by your name" at last! Something! Yes! Books, romance, subdued elegance!

10. "Heartstopper" the fact that it takes place at school AND is lighthearted and sweet doesn't make it light academia.

Thanks for coming to my TED-talk ;)
