I wonder how much childhood a young man or girl has to give up in order to reach championship level at an early age. Thomas Daley is an awsome diver and his form is excillent. At the age of 13 to get perfect scores of 10 three times is a real accomplishment. But what has he had to give up? A lot of child prodigies burnout befor they reach adulthood. How much is what he wants to do and how much is what his parents or coaches want?


If you stand for Freedom, but you wont stand for war, then you dont stand for anything worth fighting for.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
