That sounds like a terrible way to have it explained - for both of them.

Ooh, spoiled for choice? I've got to think about this. Best Years of Our Lives? Mrs. Miniver? Anything with Myrna Loy or Greer Garson, but I feel like WWII movies are appropriate right now.

They totally are!(Although I agree about Greer Garson. :) )

My dad was a man-slut in his heyday, so... not at all.

All the females I have known well over the years have told me about sexual abuse and it was always family members.

It is also because we are healthier and better fed than previous generations. More vitamins and more hormones in our food.

they are not going put on a growth spurt during filming, and for a TV series it is certainly preferable to have a physically stable actor in the role. Sometimes kids come back from summer break physically almost unrecognizable.

I think it was between seasons 2 and 3 on Game Of Thrones that Sophie Turner who played Sansa Stark grew something like 4 or 5 inches. It was funny because she ended up being one of the tallest actors on the set.

Does that correspond to housing projects in other countries?

My wife started at nine as well. She was away at summer camp and was freaked out as she hadn't had "the talk" yet. They brought over her older brother from the adjacent boys' camp and he explained to her what was going on.
