I enjoyed this, the pace, matching the boy's changing and growing with the pace of the world turning.

Thanks Jane, from a more innocent time I fear.

No time was ever innocent. Kids just have more leisure time to be idiots in than ever before, and more money.

Well, yeah I guess that's true, but porn was not a thing back then and a kiss was "just a kiss" as the song goes. It was fun and mysterious to be a kid in the 70's.

Probably depends on the background, the culture, the country. I remember enough fourteen year-old mothers in the 70s to have a less than rosy image.
