And the last 30 or so generations have been saying the same thing about previous generations. You have to realize our culture historically (and many cultures still today) recognized 9 to 11 years old as reasonable ages to marry off their daughters, usually to considerably older men. The youngest mother in the world was 5 years old, and she gave birth in 1933.

Personally, I don't think anything has changed that much from generation to generation, besides the flow of information. Sex has become a topic we can discuss, quite openly, and so it seems as though the world has come to an end.

No doubt, pre-teens were doing drugs and having sex 50 years ago too... it's just not something that was discussed.
