Bismark Tribune- Sexting

I found another article that is similar to the others about sexing. It is amazing how many of these young teenagers are sending explicit photos of themselves over the cell phone.

A 16 year old girl got a citation because she was unruly. Her mother notified the police because the girl was fighting with her mother. Obviously this girl has issue because she was taking these photos of herself because it made her feel good about herself.

I feel that society today is not helping these young girls because of what is being seen on television, idols and in magazines today.

Everywhere we see SEX. In our commercials from beer to cars it is all directed towards sex. Television programs which are reality shows such as the Bachelor, Real World, MTV, Victoria Secret, Sex in the City. We see that television is geared toward these types of shows. Even television is geared towards more teen series like Dawson Creek that used to be where teens are having sex. What does this society tell our children. That is is okay to have sex at a young age. These kids want to look like the models on Victoria Secret commerical because that is what society expects. But all in all that is not what the average women looks like.

So why are we so surprised when these children do these types of things. We advertise it everywhere.

As parents we should know the where abouts of our children. We should block things such as my space or other web pages where pedophiles can get a hold of our children. Television channels can be locked with your current cable company. There are steps that we as adults must take. I know that we can't watch every more and that it isn't always the parents fault because as parents we do our best to teach our kids right from wrong. And it is up to the child to take which road on the path to life.

Again, I don't agree with this or condon it at all.
