When I was 10, I knew that stealing was wrong, because my parents told me so, and because they did not take things that didn't belong to them, or say it was clever of others to do so. Parents must not only teach, the have to set an example.

I was the only girl in school to have breasts and pubic hair, and I suffered a fair amount of grief from that, from creepy little boys who were learning the facts of life from their fathers' porno magazines. Want to bet that those two boys had access to some raunchy stuff too.

One little creep pulled up my skirt and pulled down my panties. I told my mom. She told me to tell the principal, so I went to the principal's office and told him, by myself. Mom was home doing I don't know what.

The principal gave the little creep a good talking to. So did our teacher. Matter settled. I don't suppose it would have gone that way these days.
