This troper was deeply disturbed by a MySpace video of an 8-year-old smoking. Her brother was filming and apparently thought it was just funny. This troper was horrified.

This troper found out the Earth was a pretty crappy place at the age 6, learning all the cruel deaths, rape, violence, and just plain evilness that happens everywhere. Thing was, I thought it did happen everywhere, so when this kid started bullying me when I was eight, my first reaction was "To go to War". My parents and teacher's didn't believe me, and told me that the bully was just playing. The next day I took a screwdriver, and when I found the bully, I started to stab him until the teachers pull me off. When questioned why I did this, I responded: "That was what they do to my friends in friends in Greensboro." I was released from custody.

At the age of eleven This Troper's sister had a female classmate that put on make up, wore really sexy clothes she took from her sister and enjoyed spending time with 14-15 years old boys. My sister was one of her only female friends. One day I was talking to her she did seductive grins, put her legs in my lap and told me how she liked to kiss boys. After some months my mother discovered she wasn't making up those stories and my sister wasn't allowed to see her anymore.

Not normal? alot of 11 year old girls are sluts.

No, it is not normal for an 11 year old to act like that.

Though it shouldn't be, it kind of ''is''. In my sixth grade year, fifth graders were doing marijuana in the boys' bathrooms and two students were sent to juvenile hall (not naming names, but I knew them personally, and was in a class with both of them in the years before) for drug dealing. In my fourth grade year, there was a sixth grade girl who got pregnant. For non-American readers, sixth grade is for eleven to twelve year olds. Now, in seventh grade (don't judge me), several girls are sexually active, and rumours circulate of one who had a breakdown over her two abortions. Kids come to school smelling of cigarettes and alcohol. Almost everyone has a... ''comprehensive'' knowledge of sex acts. As in, they're able to tell The Aristocrats. It's almost heartbreaking, when you look at it from a grown-up point of view.

Likewise, there are videos on YouTube of little kids with a larger swear word vocabulary than you'd expect... from a 6-year-old. I'm talking about "Bad Mouthed Little Sister" in particular. And there's more where she came from. (Since removed from YouTube and put on eBaum's World here.)

Even worse, people acted as if that video was hilarious. Seriously, Youtubers. It's a ''six year old''. I can't believe someone would be proud of their child for expressing hatred and anger like that. Especially mindblowing is that she uses the N word.

You two have clearly never heard of Xbox Live, where the N-word is the closest you'll get to a friendly greeting from the underage kids playing "mature-rated games for mature gamers like myself". A conversation this troper has heard during a match of ''GearsOfWar'' when someone got fed up with one little kid's whiny voice: #QUOTE# '''Dude:''' Shut up, you little 12-year-old son of a whore! #QUOTE# '''Kid:''' I'm 11! Get it straight, fucker!

My brother used to swear when he was 4 (we have no idea where he got it from). Our parents attempted to stop it by putting hot sauce on his tongue, which he enjoyed.

I'm glad he enjoyed it. Torturing your kid for fucking WORDS pisses me off.

My cousin has been swearing since she was 4, but I find it more annoying than horrifying though. In fact, I notice a lot of little kids these days trying to sound cool by swearing excessively like the dumbass' they'll grow to be. Admittedly I cursed a lot too when I was growing up in the late 90's, but at least I knew what I was saying compared to the half-retards of now.

When this troper's family was looking to adopt a child, we hosted a five-year-old from Russia who engaged in disturbing sexual behavior. She was just as sexually active as her mother when she was taken into custody by her government.

That's just sad.

When this troper was 8, she went to a foreign language class with her family. The teacher drew something, that looked suspiciously like...well before he informed us it was a tadpole, he asked us what we thought it was. I innocently raised my hand (I didn't know ''everything'' about the birds and the bees...butttt) and said, "Sperm?"

This troper knew about eggs and sperm by the time she was six or seven (although I can't remember if it originally came from being a science nerd or my parents giving me a book about the facts of life at around that age). I don't recall unnerving anyone with this knowledge before middle school, but when I was around 12 I picked up a dried trail from a glue gun and informed everyone within earshot that it looked like a sperm. I made it swim around in the air.

This troper knew about sperm at age six, but didn't know about tadpoles. When he encountered a bunch of tadpoles swimming around the family boat at our vacation house, he shouted to his parents, "There's black sperm in the boat!"

This troper knew about the birds and the bees as soon as she could ask about them. Needless to say, she never gave the stork a second thought. May explain some things these days, though...

When this troper started asking at age 4 where babies came from, my parents gave me a book on it (I was an early reader). Problem was, I then knew all the mechanisms, including technical terminology, without really realising it was taboo, something my parents regretted when they heard me telling a male friend about how maybe one day he'd put his penis in my vagina.

When this troper was 12 years old, he attempted suicide.

One of the kids in my neighborhood did terrible things all the time, he treated his little brother very poorly, and this wasn't normal sibling bullying, he was actually trying to kill him, he also had a somewhat advanced vocabulary, and would constantly talk about sex and sperm and was very foul mouthed, he tried smoking and liked it, he tortured small animals in his spare time, and started fires whenever possible, eventually he got better and he isn't a little psycho anymore.

Uh... my dear, I doubt he's gotten "better". He's just gotten better at hiding it. High intelligence? Check. Reckless self harming behavior? Check. Pyromania? Check. Torturing small animals? Check. That kid is about as obvious a Sociopath as possible from your description. Don't be surprised if he ends up killing somebody in the future.

When this troper was in preschool, there was a mean little boy in the same class who threw building blocks at her and said that when he was all grown up he would track her down and kill her.

This troper had to look after a coworker's 7-year-old son for a bit. Nothing unusual, since he's the go-to guy for entertaining kids anyway, due to his sheer amount of gadgetry (iPod, Nintendo DSi, emulator games on a flash drive, and knowledge of things like Google Earth). But this kid was allowed by his parents to watch ''SouthPark'' and ''FamilyGuy''. He had a ''FamilyGuy'' themed jigsaw puzzle game on his mom's phone, and some of the puzzles were suggestive pictures involving female characters from the show. The boy (remember, he's 7) was saying things like "Whoa, wouldn't you like to get with her?" and "Check out those boobs!" and kept trying to show me. I iterated to him that I was not attracted to these cartoon women, and he agreed. He mentioned that he has a crush on a girl in his class, which normally wouldn't concern me considering that I had my first crush at age 8, but considering the way he talks about women... Though to be honest, I'm pretty sure he's all locker-room talk anyway. He'd better be. (Ideally, he wouldn't even be ''talking'' like that anyway considering he's going into second grade!) I now question said coworker's parenting. (Another coworker lets her 6- and 8-year-old sons watch ''FamilyGuy'', but they're very well behaved.)

This troper was actually encouraged by her parents to drink wine from a very young age - about 3.

This troper once had to escort a 10-year old girl through some woods at camp, and we eventually got really lost because she decided to walk in the exact wrong direction on purpose. While walking, said 10-year old offered this teenage troper "hot lesbian sex in the woods" just in case we never found our way out, so we could have babies and raise a family.

This Troper isn't sure if this counts as child-on-child sexual abuse, but she does know that when she was about eight, and later when she was eleven, she got into some... situations that she was at first enthusiastic/curious about and then very uncomfortable with with two of her "friends." (I don't really want to get too in-depth.)

ThisTroper had a classmate in the fourth grade who raped a girl. Wasn't even expelled until the end of the year despite doing other things like blackmailing a kid through physical torture into hitting another one. And this was in an expensive private school. Everything got out publicly despite efforts by the school to hide it, and trust me, by the end of that year, every single girl was trained by their parents in some sort of martial art.

My parents never lied about this stuff to me, and i drew an odd character, he was a tadpole named Sperm...

This troper used to draw fantasy battle scenes and write violent works of fiction. She also tended to plot bloody vengeance against bullies, and once wondered aloud why more suicides weren't carried out in a quick and clean fashion.

This particular troper started reading the Sword of Truth series at age 5. Wondering what some of the more adult parts meant, he went online (this was 1992, but we did have internet due to my mom's job) and found out all the wonderful biology of the human body. And then the far more fun things about sex, rape, murder, and whatnot. Coupled with reading some Robin Cook and Michael Crichton at age 6 and I became interested in Science. Managed to pull off homemade napalm before 7 and frog disections shortly afterward. Sadly it didn't result in figuring out how they combined it to dino DNA (yeah I'd read Jurassic Park.) Also culminated in knowing what BDSM was (and liking the thought of it immensely). 23 now and as you might imagine some of that information did NOT help my growing up.

How could it not help? You were likely much smarter than your peers. That alone makes you better than them.

This troper is not that bad compared to other examples on this page, but did start telling dirty jokes at about 8 and reading smut at 10. Also, whenever I was given a creative writing task in primary school I would write some kind of gruesome murder story and get an A - because they were marked on technical skill, not storyline.

Judging by testimony (My memory of childhood is foggy at best), I was quite the EnfantTerrible in this regard. One I'm not too ashamed of: When I was a ''really'' young tyke, I apparently held a pelican down and shoved my arm down its beak to fish my hotdog back out of its mouth--in front of my own mother.

Several years later, I would be forced to show my parents that day's questions-- I made some rather off-color references to TheProducers over the course of a few questions, for lack of any knowledge of context. All I knew was the chorus to "SpringtimeForHitler," and that's because Dad loved that song.

This troper threatened to commit suicide a few times in school when she was about 9 or 10. The other kids begged her to go through with it, preferably where they could watch.

This troper's father has the perfect blackmail fuel, and he knows it: from about the ages 4-6 I masturbated frequently and even taught my younger sister how to do it.

At the age of 8 this troper got jealous of her sister's new born child who had stolen the attention of everyone in the family. I was mad enough to come up with a plan in which I would feed the baby a nasty concoction made out of various floor cleaners and dust. Thankfully my brother found out and I dumped the stuff away before I could even do anything with it. !Kids trying adult behavior for the first time:

In college, a fellow student told of how she let her 10-year-old son stay at a friend's house, and was shocked when she later found out that he had been invited by his friend's parents to drink alcohol. The poor kid was throwing up all over the place.

This troper's mom told me that she and her friends would sneak cigarettes from their parents and light up. ''In the girl scouts bathrooms.'' They couldn't inhale because they weren't used to it yet.

This troper was once hired to watch over a "troublesome" ten year old boy. He was nice, actually, and he even got a friend to come over, a girl I found out was 13. When I went into their room later after dozing out for a while, I found the boy and girl having sex. I immediately ran downstairs and called the parents. They were not surprised in the least, just disappointed.

I can't understand why that's high octane nightmare fuel. So, he's acting differently, and a little older. I don't see the problem. Nobody's being harmed.

Yeah, nobody's being harmed. Just a few psyches, if not a child showing signs of future abusive behavior. Let me repeat what the above troper said: ''HE WAS 10''. HOW IS THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH A 10 YEAR OLD FUCKING AN 13 YEAR OLD!?!?! A 13 year old fucking is already incredibly idiotic and immature, but a ''10'' year old? For the 13 year old girl, it shows either being able to be very easily persuaded, or willingness to take advantage of somebody very troubled. As for the 10 year old... Usually when kids have sex ''that young'', it means that something is '''''VERY WRONG.''''' The fact that the parents weren't surprised, meaning he probably did it before, is why this is High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

This troper, at the age of about five, wandered around a party taking sips out of all the grown-ups' wine glasses and getting tipsy.

This troper has a younger cousin who would call her "fucker" all the time. She'd say things like, "Hi, big fucker" and "Big fucker, can you help me with this?" Turns out she thought "fucker" meant "relative", so when she called me "big fucker", she was really calling me "big cousin". She learned it from her parents (so she was trying out "big people words" as she calls them) and they never bothered to correct her, even though they knew she constantly said this word. She did stop saying it eventually, but not until she reached second grade.

This troper allegedly yelled "fuck!" in a restaurant when she was about three, scandalizing everyone in the vicinity... What are you doing? You're too young to go back to TroublingUnchildhoodBehavior! That's just totally wrong!
