I. Introduction to INTRODUCTION: “Simulated Parents” is selected from Hardy Resist, the American writer Wendy Loggia’s novel “Hard to Resist.” The novel is unique in describing teenage love, sexual maturity and sex education. Duncan, a secondary school teacher, allowed her students to start a practice of simulating their parents after a sex education class. Dozens of pairs of “couples” brought their “children” -- computer babies -- nervously into the role of “parents.” “Baby children ” regardless of eating, sleeping, or shopping, watching the game; whether at home or outside, or day and night, are inseparable with the “parents” side, slightly unhappy, they cried. “Parents” can’t eat well, sleep well, play badly, learn badly, and can’t help but can’t help. Who dares to offend these “little emperors”! Their advanced computer programs have been meticulously documented.
