Well, here's whats not normal about it. For one, other 15-year-olds love to see R-rated movies without fail. (And yes, you're 15, we all caught that.) They like the sex (even the girls), they like the vilence (most of the time) because it's exciting, and they like the swearing because they tend to swear all the time too, and it's fun to hear other people go off on it. So it's not normal in the sense that it's not typical. Most of this also applies to 18-year-olds, in case you are planning on sticking to that lie. In case you're wondering, the reason I asked you if you were Christian before is because very (very) Christian households tend to raise children to be disgusted with sex, violence, horror, and swearing. It's not your fault in any way (it actually dates back centuries; look up Girolamo Savonarola on wikipedia) because it only has to do with your parents. I think that once you get a little older, you might have the chance to pull away from some of that. You're probably also lying about the Christian thing, too, but if not, I'm curious as to what type of household you were brought up in.
Right, so it's the whole rebel-teenager thing? I never really did that. I've always been shy and reserved, introverted, I never rebelled or anything. The sex is just embarrassing (mostly my reaction to it more than anything else) and I don't like violence. As I've said, I'm very squeamish. And I don't swear all the time and never saw the attraction in it. Maybe because my dad did it a lot when he was angry and he's scary when he's angry and it did scare me a lot as a child.
Please don't accuse me of lying. I am 18, I am not a Christian and neither are my parents. I sort of used to be as a child before I really knew what to believe but now I just believe in fate. Which might be what people believe is God, but whatever. You don't want to go into that.
I wasn't raised in a household like that, I was never taught that sex was bad, I just wasn't taught about sex at all. It wasn't a part of my childhood. But I don't see how it would have been. Why should a parent talk to their child about sex? Neither of my parents are the sexual/violent/horror type. When they're happy they're both very peaceful people.
A parent not talking about something is the equivalent of a parent saying that that thing is bad to talk about. I think if you are THAT reserved, THAT much afraid of sex and violence, then you have probably never lived. IT'S JUST A MOVIE. It doesn't have to be real life. Being squeamish is BAD. It's also not normal. It really doesn't let you experience things that you might find awesome if you would go out and do them. And to answer your final question, "why should a parent talk to their child about sex", ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. If a parent doesn't teach their child about sex, then the child will ALWAYS be scared to bring it up with them, and will likely be uneducated about birth control. It is a danger because they will likely either go out and have unprotected sex and get pregnant (see Bristol Palin) or be too timid about it to enjoy ANYTHING related to it (see YOU.) Bottom line, you're sheltered and will probably raise sheltered children.
Ok so my life is fucked and I might as well give up? I can't change my childhood.
And I would have thought being squeamish is a perfectly normal reaction. It should be disturbing to see someone with their insides hanging out. It's a warning that there's danger nearby, a natural human instinct. Surely?
I'm not saying I'm not.... I just don't acknowledge it because I don't want to. I WANT to be innocent.
That doesn't explain the squeamish thing though.
thats ironic I wanted to keep my innocence as well yet.... *sigh* life hahaha I think its pretty cool that your trying we need mmore innocence in the world. Good luck! C;
Read William Blake, particularly The Lamb and The Tyger. You may understand now, you may understand years down the line. You're lucky that you have retained your innocence but be warned.. that can make it even harder when you finally lose it, and it would take a miracle or a mental handicap to retain your innocence through the entirety of your adult life. :/ Sad to say, but thats the world we live in.
Is it normal that I refuse to watch films rated 18?

What about sex? It's a natural human instinct that when there's sex nearby, you should be turned on. Surely?
