The good news is we can help them through it, although that requires a few lessons of our own. It’s human nature to judge adolescents by our experience. For one thing, girls are becoming women earlier than they used to. Children with ‘precocious pubescence’ can start menstruating at five or six. “When dads aren’t around, they’re more likely to move into puberty earlier,” says parenting expert Michael Grose. In the past 60 years, the age at which girls lose their virginity has dropped from 19 (when many women were married in the 1950’s) to 16, but many start much earlier. Anne Mitchell, the director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, says rates of oral sex are climbing. Most worryingly, there has also been a marked increase in unwanted sex, an experience that can have a long-term effect on how a woman feels about herself and her sexuality. This doesn’t sound unusual to 16-year-old Ann.

Le blog de Gromuel Miniature city built with metal type Type City is a recent artwork by artist Hong Seon Jang that uses pieces of movable type from a printing press to create an elaborate cityscape. It’s fascinating to watch as the need for printed books and typography wanes, the unused objects themselves are more frequently used as an actual medium. Jang also completed a much larger Type City in 2009. Also, if you liked this, make sure you watch the creation of Ephemicropolis by Peter Root, a city built from 100,000 staples.
