    1: Age in which children are most vulnerable to sexual abuse and exploitation, and related mental health issues. For some children, it is the age in which they have no concept of sex or sexual development, and for others, it is an age in which they develop their reproductive phase and start having feeling sexual desire and or lack sophisticated social skills, to navigate people who want to exploit and manipulate them. For some, it is the age in which children begin to experiment with mind-altering substances such as drugs, alcohol, money, and power. For some it is the age in which they are highly dependent on a sexual abuser, such as a parent or authority figure such as a priest, or teacher. For some it is the age in which they are poor, lack the psychological and social skills. An age when they feel powerless, and vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation and exploitation and unhealthy social pressures. It is the age in which they can be easily overpowered physically and mentally and for which they have little or no defense. And when they try to defend themselves against the abuse they are often made to feel powerless and hopeless and often further exploited and humiliated.

Avoidant Personality Disorder or just extremely low self-esteem. People with high levels of vulnerable narcissism tend to be excessively self-conscious, self-absorbed and expect to be handled with kid gloves at all times. Intolerance to differing opinions and an egregious sense of victimization tend to characterize these types. (See Social Justice Warrior) If you know someone whose self-esteem seems to be excessively unstable and fragile, you might be dealing with someone with high amounts of vulnerable narcissism.

      * e.g.,  ... Bob: My girlfriend has Borderline Personality Disorder and tends to lose her shit when I don't want to go to her favourite restaurant every damn night.
