Parents who jump on the "purity culture" bandwagon can drop the ball so hard that it oftentimes defeats the entire purpose of their core beliefs. Instead of empowering their children to make healthy and informed choices about emotions and relationships, they shame them and/or avoid the topics at all costs.
Listen, we're not here to tell y'all how to raise your kids but there's a reason why you, the adult, is the responsible one. It's your ultimate duty to teach and educate your kids about all the wonders of the real world so that when they grow up to be adults of their own, they not only can manage their emotions effectively but ultimately, function as a human being in society.
