What's a gentle way to tell fourteen-year-olds that society is lying to them?

There is no gentle way. Sometimes you just have to tell the truth, just lay it out there no matter how hard it is to accept. It has to be done this way because the longer you wait, the more it hurts. Remember how bad it hurt when you found out for yourself?
I'm a spinster schoolmarm with a degree in English; I watch artsy movies about British people; I knit while watching the History Channel; I listen to NPR in the car; I eat frozen dinners on the couch.
Is that stereotypical enough for you?
No?
Well, then ... and I have a cat.
