That’s quite interesting, I’ve always enjoyed learning more about how humans think and why they think certain ways. I will say though this does make sense, though some of the kids who’s parents actually understood, (remember anyone young today, this was a drastically more “under the rug” thing back before 2015ish) and supported them, those were the most messed up ones. To be fair though, that’s probably just due to my town being an absolute anomaly.

We were known for being kinda… Weird, compared to the surrounding towns
