I know I'm happy we get well educated about things such as drugs, sex and drinking at young age (let's say, 10-12 years old).
I, age 17 coming from The Netherlands, think this is well written. Alot of foreigners think that because soft-drugs isn't illegal, the drinking age is 16, and some hard-drugs are not illegal if you already used them, that alot of Dutch people actually do those things. But I know that alot of people don't do those things, or not too often, because I guess they are boring after you've done them some times. (Been there done that, and will probably not do it again because I think it's not the best for your body and a waste of money).
Also, it is true that nobody (well, most people) really cares if you're a virgin or not at whatever age. I can talk about anything with my parents like they are my friends, if I want to. I don't live in a big house or something, but yet my parents can pay everything I need for college, and 2 vacations a year (snowboarding and summer). And I myself work about 15 hours (aside from school) too, so I can go out and do fun stuff with that money .
