   Hello,   
      
      
   Sexualisation of the young is becoming society's cancer   
      
   Today this is all changing. Many boys learn their sexuality from porn,   
   and fixate not on deep connection, or tender passion, but instead on   
   treating girls like sacks of meat. Distressed girls tell counsellors of   
   gentle boys suddenly becoming callous and hurting them because they   
   think that's how sex is done.   
      
   There is something special being lost here. For many young people, sex   
   has become a performance, overlaid with worry about ''How do I look?   
   What tricks do they expect me to perform? How do I compare with   
   others?'' Separating sex from personhood is what sexualisation does.   
   It's robbing us of closeness. Little wonder we have one of the most   
   depressed and lonely generations of young people ever.   
      
   Our earn-and-spend culture edges us towards seeing ourselves as a   
   product. We modify our bodies to compete better in the marketplace.   
   Advertising teaches our young to evaluate themselves merely by their looks.   
      
   Unless we redirect ourselves to inner value - kindness, creativity,   
   patience, loyalty, and passion - then we will have nothing to offer our   
   young apart from our credit cards.
