it was all semi-okay with me until...
the video told parents to check their kids' history
that just pisses me off.
censorship=blindness.

tell them to wear a condom and use birth control. tell them about HIV/AIDS and other STDs. after that, let us do our stuff.
it's us.

You should tell the child that intercourse can be dangerous for them right when you tell them how a baby is made. The effects of an early relationship to that extreme can often be bad to state bluntly, and if it isn't 'safe'- I don't recommend it because I think you should just be married anyway- a baby will most likely be conceived and will be unhealthy or have some mental problems. Girls should also be told about the 'period' too- menstrual cycle. It is terribly bad and painful to engage in such activity before your first period.

If a child is told so, they probably won't be as eager to do these things. Diseases transmitted that way aren't so appealing.

Watch Juno.

The End.

wut if sumone abducts a teen a rapes them then what do u do? if that happened to me I wouldnt go with abortion I would just give birth and get on with my life and I woul just have a kid its no problem taking care of a kid u just change their dipers feed them and bathe them theres really nothing to it >_>

*this message is not ment to offend anyone just to explain this

it seem to be difficult to be parents nowadays. To get teen understand about how to have safe sex and not to be pregnancy teen while studying at school. I was born in a country where pregnancy and sex are kept secret and it might be too late to teach at school. But i do remember one thing my mom said "your life will be change forever when you pregnant and have a baby". I don't know if change means good or bad but I am not ready to be mom.
Talk to them on how to have safe sex would help if you could not stop tv showing sex scene.

why is television to blame for teens bieng dumb

Teen pregnancy is an important issue. There are health risks for the baby and children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer health, social, and emotional problems. Women who become pregnant during their teens have an increased risk for complications, such as premature labor and socioeconomic consequences as well. Many times these teenage girls problems lead them towards addiction, depression, anxiety and some antisocial activities. We have to support responsible policies that will increase the use of contraception and provide more education to teens, parents, and young adults.

teens will be teens.. thats what i say. i have two teen daughters named Rachel and Claire. Rachel is 16 and yes shes legal.. and never lets me forget it. her boyfriend of two years who is 17 as far as i know is a virgin and so was Rachel. My husband and i trust our daughter wih everythinng and though we do tend to spoil them a lot, we always made it clear on what they can and cannot do. I overheard her and her boyfriend talking about having sex after a party and so i didnt let her go. But then came prom, and boy oh boy was i nervose. Rachel is a 4.0 student so i thught she would use her head and know she shouldnt have sex. She went to party after and came home the next day @ 11 am. I asked her how it went and she finnaly spilled"mom i had sex" where her words. i blamed myself at first but i realized that there was little i could now excert talk to her. Rachel didnt end up getting preagent. But i soon realized that sex and the media impacted her life alot. i wish that sex wasnt so out there all the time. although i do with Rachel didnt have sex on prom night im happy her and her boyfriend havent broken up b/c of it.

they r teens... they r more than likely to do it whether someone has talked to them about it or not... the best thing to do is just explain to them the consequences of having sex... and if they choose to do it... thats their thing... but at least they have been warned about the dangers out there and what can possibly come along with having sex... stds pregnancy aids...

So, true, everyone is so self concious about sex. It's like OMG! My kid saw tits! I don't know one kid in my grade that hasn't seen some kind of sex in movies or in porn. Honestly, just be comfortable with it, as long as you tell them the dangers of sex and make sure they know the risk, you shouldn't care. Most of my friends watch porn. But, if you're a parent you should know that most likely your kid is watching some kind of sexual content. Also, as long as you have an internet connection, your kids can access anything, with a couple of clicks you could delete your history and cookies. You can download free music, movies, TV shows, and videos from anywhere. Even my friend whose computer is right in the middle of his house, where his parents can watch him, can get away with anything on his computer.

It is really unusual to parents having a conversation to their children with regards to sex education. This is what's wrong with the parents, the effect will be misconception of their children and curiosity that may lead for them to ask on wrong person and the after effect may ruin their lives. Parents may need to consider a payday loan to cover for their teenagers. Raiding the pantry, and then the gadgets like cell phones, Internet, mp3 players, and new wardrobe like pants that don't stay up, and driving them around is an expensive proposition for parents. Then they eat their own weight in microwave burritos. Getting them all their "wants" can add up quick – should we get a payday loan to cover for them? Or should they be taught the value of their own hard work to get their needs and wants fulfilled? I read an article that taught me how to teach them to shovel snow to earn their own money. For other ideas on raising teens, or just a sympathetic voice, go to the payday loan blog.

Its not necessary for hollywood to have sexual stuff in tv shows and movies, yes there is more teen age pregnancy now adays cause of tv is shockling, no morels. put more family shows on

Let me tell you a weird story... You are talking about girls, well, I'm going to talk about boys... A father hired a girl from London escorts to teach his 16 years old son about having sex and how to satisfy a woman... What do you have to say about that?

Amen brother....I'm a rocker also (progressive in nature), and concur
with your logic. The bands I listen to also add a flare of feel good spirituality!

Because I DO believe this topic must be taught/explained by parents, I
don't feel it's appropriate for our school system to even make sex ed part
of the curriculum! Many of us don't need the help....it only hurts!

Or, perhaps, could teenage pregnancy be on the rise because of our culture's fear of anything sexual and stubborn refusal to teach sex-ed in schools?

I listened to the findings of this report and knew it would be misconstrewed. These findings of the study did not conclude that watching sexual content made teens have sex. The study found that those engaging in sex watched more sexual content on TV. While some would try to link these, nothing was linked. Those teens already engaged and interested in sex look for media sources which fit their desired content.
A study came out recently, studying sexual behavior throughout the last century. The findings were that the percentage of people engaged in premarital sex was the same throughout the past century. It also found that those who had abstinance only sex ed were just as likely to engage in sex as those in comprehensive sex ed, they just don't know how to take precautions. Abstinence only sex ed leads to more teen pregnencies because teens aren't educated how to make responsible decisions w/ sex. 95% of the population engages in premarital sex; in our day and age, people also date longer and marry later.
Parent your kids, keep tabs on them, talk to your kids about sex. Educate your kids, let them know how to get contreceptives if/when they decide they are ready to be sexually active. Why does this country have such hang-ups over sex? How do people expect to have adults who grow up to have healthy, safe, sex when we are afraid to talk to our kids about it? Lets just blame TV, music, video games, movies, internet, books, magazines instead of doing our jobs as parents.

I thought real sex caused pregnancy who knew it was people on tv impregnating our teens.
Tere are alot of odd things about studies if 2 things go up at the same time even thought they may seem related the reality can still be one did not cause the other. Seems to me people trying to blame bad parenting and poor choices made by their kids on wht is on TV.

I think what is happening is more and more parents who cannot raise their children properly, which allows them to absorb certain pieces of information more easily.Stop scapegoating the material and start holding the parents accountable for bad parenting.

It saddens me that we live in a world where sexual content drips from almost every form of media, wether its TV, Movies, Video Games, or even MUSIC! It's absolutlety disgusting! And the source of it all? Rappers and Pop Stars. Thats why I grow my kids up with Heavy Metal. It has virtually NO sexual content WHATSOEVER in the music or videos, almost all albums have a "Clean" version, and the themes are more artistic and thought-provoking. When you think about it, it really does make sense. After all, when was the last time Slayer or Metallica talked about sex in thier music or music videos? I don't believe ever.

Sorry, double post.

By saying that sex in the media affects teen's sexual habits, you're grossly ignoring the fact that it is a PARENT'S responsibility to teach their child about sex. If kids have a positive example and openness about sex from their parents, they won't make bad choices, you simply can't blame the media for teenagers being stupid.

So, sexual content on TV has doubled in the last decade, but teen pregnancy has decreased over the last 15 years. And they are trying to say there's a link between tv sex and teen pregnancy? Could someone explain how these two facts don't contradict the findings?
