I was going to say "this won't end well". but on the other hand I came out okay and I was raised in a cult that sought guidance from a bunch of old men who lived the most unnatural cloistered lives ever. Apparently I was supposed to gain insight from men without families who couldn't come to terms with their own (homo)sexuality. I was even an altar boy for awhile.

Pakistan is a very young, underdeveloped country. I think that's part of it. If you are well educated, it makes you like an "elder" compared to people who know less than you. With the high illiteracy rates, a well educated 11 year old (the age of a sixth grader here in the US) absolutely can be a wellspring of knowledge to a country where a lot of people have a 2nd to 4th grade education. That doesn't mean this won't go bad places. But I think it helps to consider the context.
