		<description><![CDATA[Most parents in the U.S. have spent the past few days imagining what it would be like to be the mother or father of one of the 20 schoolchildren murdered on Dec. 14 in Connecticut. Each detail that emerges from that stricken community brings many of us to tears. And of course we think, What if a madman came to our child’s school in a rage with a gun? But there’s another group of parents who watched this horror story unfold with an opposite and perhaps more excruciating thought: What if the madman were my child? Parents of mentally ill children and young adults can&#8217;t say they are afraid of their own children or admit that they know what it’s like to have bright children whose rages could, under circumstances they can’t predict, lead them to kill innocent people the way Adam Lanza is alleged to have done at Sandy Hook Elementary. And they can’t find comfort in the wake of a national tragedy by sharing their feelings around the watercooler like the rest of us. (MORE: The Backlash Against Liza Long, author of &#8216;I Am Adam Lanza&#8217;s Mother&#8217;) But this week, one of these mothers stepped forward with an eloquent, wrenching cry for help that has echoed across the Web. In a blog post republished on the Blue Review titled “I Am Adam Lanza’s Mother,” Liza Long writes, “I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me &#8230;” She goes on: “I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza’s mother. I am Dylan Klebold’s and Eric Harris’s mother. I am James Holmes’s mother. I am Jared Loughner’s mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho’s mother. And these boys — and their mothers — need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.” Long describes the love she has for her 13-year-old son, a brilliant boy who loves Harry Potter and has a “snuggle animal collection.” But according to her, this same child<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=healthland.time.com&#038;blog=8684427&#038;post=76271&#038;subd=timewellness&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just when we were getting used to seeing pubescent bodies of 13-year-old fashion models draped in $10,000 outfits, French Vogue has taken the creepy trend one step further with some controversial photos of a pre-pubescent 10-year-old model striking some very adult poses. The image of young Thylane Loubry Blondeau, stretched out on a tiger skin with leopard-print high heels, red nail polish, big jewelry and upswept hair, has lit up the Web and reignited the long-running debate over whether we are sexualizing young girls. Let&#8217;s agree here with the many outraged bloggers who note that there is something deeply creepy about the images. The girl has a preternaturally mature stare and a Brigitte Bardot pout that is both stunning and unsettling. And of course there&#8217;s something disturbing about the whole concept of using a fourth-grader to hawk couture for adult women. But in truth, I&#8217;m a little surprised that the Vogue pictures caused such a stir given that there&#8217;s no comparable outrage over the fact that Target sells pink silk padded bras for tweens or that, come this Halloween, we&#8217;ll once again be faced with fetish wear for 6-year-olds including some truly icky French maid costumes. And yet we&#8217;re shocked each time there&#8217;s a new sexy kid incident. Inevitably, in response, the TV networks drag out the clips of the heavily made-up kiddie pageant contestants on TLC&#8217;s Toddlers and Tiaras, along with that viral video of a dance competition featuring young girls wearing garters and gyrating to a Beyoncé song. Outrage aside, the question no one seems to be able to answer is whether the media&#8217;s sexualization of young girls, which I think is undeniably increasing, is changing girls&#8217; behavior. So far, it doesn&#8217;t seem to be driving girls to have sex earlier. Most teens aren&#8217;t sexually active until 11th or 12th grade or later, and a surprising number (more than half) even wait until after high school to have sex. However, when women do have sex for the first time, they feel less satisfied with their bodies afterward, according to<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=healthland.time.com&#038;blog=8684427&#038;post=40190&#038;subd=timewellness&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
