That was the thinking post WWII. Now we've gone so far in the other direction that it takes them 40 plus years to grow up.

I don''t know. I see kids having to grow up very fast these days. Much faster than when I was a youngster. Perhaps kids don;t have to take on some of the chores and responsibilities early on that they did many years ago.. But its a changing world and there are a lot of other demands upon children that requires them to "grow up and understand" much earlier on than when I was a kid.

Sounds like QRZ, Peter Panadapter in Never Never Land.
Years ago I took a great deal of severe abuse and even threats for falling in love with a rather young good looking. female teacher. No, I was not a minor nor was she my teacher. It was strictly a legitimate relationship between two legal adults and there was nothing involving any sort of teacher/student or professional relationship. It's just that some people I knew hated teachers and chose to be intimidating and threatening.in order to make us upset and make me feel guilty for showing affection for a teacher.
