some types of content are indisputably disturbing for kids, like violence, war footage, sexualized content (esp. a sexualized female image targeting male kids & teens), etc

you can be agnostic while not objectifying the female image to a point of forming a generation of young man that are addicted to porn and can't talk and connect to a real women

Is this true that men aren't connecting to real women? What's the evidence? US STD rates are up 90% from 2004.

I guess STDs are up partly because it's fewer men sleeping with more women then.

We can recruit them to fight in a war, but it might be disturbing to show them what they signed up for.

People who are too young to do all or some of vote, drink, drive a car, etc., can join the army in some countries such as the US.

I believe I was driving at 14 in the US. The current Michigan law is 14y9m to get a level 1 license.

The article was talking about year 8 students in the UK, which is 12-to-13-year-olds. The other commenters in this thread also seemed to be talking about younger kids, not 17-year-olds.

Yes, it's important to clarify what age group people are talking about. But we shouldn't automatically assume everyone it talking about military-aged students.

Recruiters operate in US high schools to reach minors.
