Nick Luxmoore Young People Up Close Talking About Sex And Death And Hatred Underneath everything, young people are powered by three anxieties I remember a tutor at university joking that all literature ends up being about sex and death. I think he was right. I’d add "hatred" to the list and argue that all work with young people ends up being about sex and death and hatred, that these three things motivate all of us most primitively and certainly motivate young people, both consciously and unconsciously. Sex motivates us because—in the broadest sense—sex runs through all our relationships. As children and young people, we begin to realize that our bodies are developing in readiness for sex and reproduction, that we must learn all sorts of explicit and implicit rules about  sexuality , that every relationship has sexual potential and that we must learn to bear the weight of our anxieties about all these things. Similarly, anxieties about de

WIN AT LUDOGORETS A 3-0 away win might satisfy most coaches, but the Serie A side's boss was left "angry" despite a positive result Article continues below Gennaro Gattuso refused to revel in AC Milan's 3-0 away win at Ludogorets, claiming his side could and possibly should have played better. Milan took a commanding lead in their Europa League last-32 tie as Patrick Cutrone, Ricardo Rodriguez and Fabio Borini found the net in Bulgaria, extending the Rossoneri's unbeaten start to 2018. But Gattuso was far from satisfied with the victory due to his belief that the result did not reflect the visitors' poor performance. "I wouldn't call it the perfect performance as we could have played better, even if it's always difficult in Europe," he told  Sky Sport Italia  . "Ludogorets could have caused us problems, but we are holding on tight to this 3-0 result. I don't think it's a fair reflection of the game,
