So, it seems the consensus is that those parents are to blame. But really, how are the parents going to fight a media that makes it all look so appealing? And really, what end did we think the sexual revolution would come to?
how do we (parents) fight it? By simply NOT ALLOWING IT. Last I checked parents (should) have "control" over WTF a 13yr old did, said, wore, went, hell... practically what they were allowed to think. 12yr olds are NOT adults no matter what they may think and the media try to enforce. I ahve 2 children, ~3 and ~1 years old. I am DAMN SURE that I will have more influence on them then the media will. No question. Sure they will have friends that have parents that will let it slide and my little boy/girl may want to act/dress like their friends do. But what they want and what they get may end up to be 2 different things.
Parents need to (re)grab control I think and stop allowing the media to dictate how our children are raised.
And dont give me any "opressive parent" bullsh!t as that is the EXACT mentality that is 100% wrong with child rearing in todays age.
