That's quite so, the response is quite generalizing, I wouldn't sign off on that at all.
There isn't just black and white, there are at least 50 shades of grey.
Young people with an open mind and the ability to critical think grow up more educated and clever as older people with closed, conservative mindsets who might be to stubborn to learn new things.
Parents are fallible, so are kids, nobody is perfect.
Having been young once in a different time with a different kind of society doesn't mean parents will relate well and properly empathize with their kids. Some might do, but that's not always the case.
Also in this post you'll read things like "learn to love them first", while those people in this very same forum who just lust for the next good fuck will never be taught the same lesson, when asking others to "borrow" their pets (
example here).
Also lurking in online communities is a waste of time, unless you are shy and introverted and prefer not to socialize. If that's not your type of personality, go around and talk to people. Doesn't mean you become creepy. It just shows you are interested in the community and willing to share thoughts and ideas.
The only good advice I found here, apart from balanced eating and not to shun safety precautions is the heartbreak advice. Sadness isn't eternal. Nothing is.
I'll add my own advices: Never shy away from asking questions. That's the quickest way to gain knowledge on things, but never forget to be wary of the source. Use critical thinking rather than emotive responses, use rationality rather than feelings. If you get into an argument, try to understand where the other side is coming from and argue based on rationality and facts rather than emotions and conjecture.
This leads to my next point, which is media-competency. It is important as well. You should always be careful around information you are given, especially if the source isn't a serious or reputable one. It never hurts to fact-check things before accepting them as truths. In fact, the more you read on a subject (preferably from a variety of unrelated sources), the more you'll know about the subject and the more you know, the more you can speak confidently about it. That said, while skepticism is encouraged, that doesn't automatically mean you should disregard information you are given in favor of conspiracy theories. If you are skeptic, be it in all regards, including populism, rumors and wide-spread beliefs without foundations.
When it comes to the topic of this forum: Don't share personal information with anyone. If you share zoo- (or any) -material concerning yourself, make sure you can't be identified through it, like adding a blur to faces, remove metadata and the likes. You never know where personal material might end up. As soon as it is out of your hand, you have no real control about its spread anymore.
