    The social view on adolescent sexuality varies across cultures, societies, communities, and families. It is a controversial topic because some individuals perceive sexuality as an important development of a teenager’s gender and identity, while others are opposed to the sexual interaction of adolescence.

    You and I both have a mother and father. However, privileged individuals have both parents living under the same roof in “love”. If you are one of these privileged individuals we can make judgement on who does the most laundry, who handles the finances, who cooks, who cleans, and the list is endless.
