What Kids Are Watching and How It Can Affect Them

Jan 31, 2006 19:45

Kids get far more bombardment of sexual imagery and themes than when I was growing up. Cable TV, the internet, and even regular network television increase their exposure these days. Surely, lazy parenting can exacerbate this exposure. A study of the affects on children was performed. The results?

If there would have been internet porn when I was in high school, I'd have callouses on my hands.

Honestly? Same here.

This is one of the reasons we got rid of cable.

I'm probably not going to get cable or satellite until the kids are grown up and moved out.

My future Kids are going to hate me for what I will restrict from them.

Hey, being a parent isn't about being your kids' best buddy. Oh, it's nice if it can happen but laying down the law comes first.

That may have something to do with it. But where do you think they get the idea to have sex with society's trash? The media.

The X5 increase of teenage STDs are from not teaching both abstinence and the procedures for "safe" sex in one classroom. That, and fuckin' kids these days are fucking like rabbits.

I realize now that I totally need to get laid after reading this. Thanks a lot for reminding me of that, forgeman.

One of the things they teach in many health classes these days is something called "gay tolerance". And it's about as dumb a thing for them to teach as "gay ostracism". Such things should be left up to the parents to decide. In a classroom setting, it's a distraction. What they need to teach in regards to sexual health in a school would be something like Uganda's ABC Program(which has turned that country into the only African nation with a reduction in new AIDS cases):

A) Abstinence(most effective method)
B) Be faithful to your partner
C) Condoms

That, and fuckin' kids these days are fucking like rabbits.

Well yeah, because of the message they're getting from the media they're zoning out on.

Hey, what are friends for? Here's another reminder.
