I just got back from lunch and while I was out, some of the middle school students were also there getting lunch. Watching those young girls made me realize how naive I was about sexuality at that age. I had no self-awareness of sexuality at all, and certainly not within myself. These girls wearing their hip hugger jeans and bare midriffs are oozing sexuality. In some ways it seems they are so young and I wonder if they really understand their budding sexuality or if they are just mimicking fashion trends set by Brittney Spears and other “role models”. But also at the same time, I think maybe they are more prepared for the world today in that aspect than I was. I certainly had lots of book knowledge about sexuality at that age, my parents were very open with me. But I didn’t “get” it until I was in high school and only then not to same degree as the young girls today. Although I think it is as mature women we really truly understand sensuality and sexuality. Whereas those young girls, it’s a facade of sorts, all of them cut from the same mold.

I think I’m glad I had boys;)
