And the movies are teaching the sort of tommyrot which makes 15-year-old girls think seriously of love and jealousy and marriage with 15-year-old boys. But, you protest, the movies do not show 15-year-old boys and girls getting married.
NO, BUT THEY SHOW A BUNCH OF CUSTARD HEADS OF 30 AND 40 ACTING LIKE 15-YEAR-OLD BOYS AND GIRLS. THEY EXPLOIT 15-YEAR-OLD SLUSH AND GUSH, ROMANTICISM AND UNFAIRNESS, AND YOU, THE PARENTS OF 15-YEAR-OLD YOUNGSTERS GO AND LAP IT UP.
