I think people forget that as puberty approaches young people become less "kids" and more "retards in recovery" the fixations, mistreated logic etc come to the fore, but the THINKING is distinctly adult rather than kid. The experience that makes things make sense is still missing, but there's still a firm line.

Perfectly reasonable to me that a 10 year old would want to do this, or at least say they did, and then your parents force you to because that's good parenting.
