that problem was already going when i was that age (there'll always be careless teenagers like that...), but for me personally... i just think reading s m u t so young IF YOU'RE NOT like those problematic kids who just party and get laid, it just messes up with your head cause you don't have the maturity/capacity to take such scenes (EVEN MORE IF IT'S TOXIC STORIES or some heavy s e x like some stories have). a lot of teenagers normalize toxicity in relationships now and that's sad to me (i see it a lot on reels), they shouldn't read these things until they are close to adulthood at the very least. i've read cute romance throughout my teenage years and only started reading sm** and toxic stuff when i realized i could handle it myself and i would know how to judge it and to think of it as just fiction even if it can also awaken something in you down the road. if i have a big s e x u a l appetite now as a proper adult even if i only started reading at 18, i don't want to think how people much MUCH younger than i was at the time must feel now. s e x y scenes are funny and quirky until it starts to do something to your brain and your body when you can't handle it at that age.
i know i wrote a little too much, but as an adult, i am genuinely worried about LITERAL KIDS reading stuff like this. they're definitely not ready for it. just enjoy your childhood
