you know what? I don’t think children should be kissing in shows & movies. I mean if you think about it, adults are writing scripts, and then making child actors, who are almost always extremely uncomfortable and usually do not want to do it, kiss in front of said adults, mainly for the enjoyment of other adults. It’s just creepy if you think about it for like 5 seconds, and given the huge amount of pedophiles working in the entertainment industry, it becomes even creepier.
I mean you don’t have to totally get rid of stories about children having crushes & dating and what not, but it can very easily be done without showing them kissing and stuff.
