Do think kids need to be protected or introduced to the dangers of the world?
For example, telling them about sex at a young age or keep them wondering until you think they're "old enough".

I think kids should be protected from some of the dangers of this world because I think some stuff kids shouldn't even know about. Other things you should introduce them into it. I know when I have kids I will tell my kids about puberty and all that other stuff when they're in middle school. Side: Protected

Dangers are always going to exist, whether or not the next generation learns of them; how else could they have come into existence? To answer your reference to sexuality, I believe that there is no problem with introducing children to the concept. I personally learned a great deal by reading pre-20th century sadomasochistic erotica; I would recommend nearly anything else as an introduction, preferably before they find the stuff I found. Nothing can scare and scar a young child like The 120 Days of Sodom or The Romance of Lust. Side: Introduced

Please, I can totally beat you there. My nurse gave me a book about periods and pregnancy- I think they were meant for the eighth graders- before checking my age, and being the overtly-curious, precocious, bookworm of a ten year old that I was, I didn't correct her. I read the book... than I slept fetal position for several months because I was scared of the descriptions. It was like pre-packaged, glorified porn for middle schoolers! And the nurse gave it to me!
