This article is very annoying! First of all, these university researchers undoubtedly received a big fat government grant (and the U of Calif is notoriously rich) to do a study and conclude the obvious! Second, look at what kids watch on TV, at the movies, and hear in songs on the radio! They don’t need a cell phone to be sexualized. And young people in Middle School are usually becoming acquainted with their reproductive system and very active sexual hormones. Was anyone surprised by their findings??? But let them get in trouble and they’re all “victims.”
They actually had to do a study to figure this one out??? Here’s a better use of the money, pay me one third of what they spent to do this study and I’ll use simple logic and get the same results! What a waste!
This “study” is just a precursor to justify more minors being arrested and registered.
Who cares? They are acting as normal human beings. These laws have nothing to do with reality. They are made by stuck up Christians with antiquated “values” and nothing more. Go read your Bible in a dark room and let the rest of the world that scares you so much go on.
