Chinese kids being influenced by the West isn’t news. Many sport the baggy pants, tinted hair, pierced body parts, and listen to hip-hop and make all the right dance moves.
But when it comes to their bodies and sex, they could still learn a little something.
That’s because kids in China are reaching puberty at a younger and younger age, according to researchers. Yet most youngsters here have little understanding of sex and aren’t emotionally ready to deal with it.
A recent survey shows the nation’s one-child family’s “princes” and “princesses” are developing an awareness of life slower than their counterparts did when a similar survey was first conducted 15 years ago.
