Book Reading #31 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 10: The Experience and Individuality of the Average Girl
Summary:
There is very little privacy in the Samoan culture. Children see death, sex, and birth. Homosexual relations are usually casual and substitute for heterosexual ones, except in the case of Sasi, who made lots of advancements on boys.
Discussion:
I think it's scary that children are so exposed, but I guess there are some good things that can come from it, like maturity. Homosexual relations are awkward and I don't see why they happen anywhere. It's unnatural.
