Would you let your 15-year-old watch "South Park"?

My brother lets my 10 year old nephew watch it. I think that is too young.

At what age are all bets off re: what kids can watch?

No, not at home. don't need that filth in the house.

Oh my friend, if your son is in high school, he has seen and heard worse.

My DS and DH both watch it and they trade commentary on it. It is quite entertaining to hear their conversations about it.

You kidding? South Park?

15 is old enough to understand the difference between tv and reality. South Park is a hoot.

I hate South Park.

I can't wait to watch it with her! She is 10 now and not interested in it, but I will watch with her when she discovers it and laugh my ass off. South Park is funny!

What would Brian Boitano do?

I don't censor what my children watch and never have really (unless the show/movie was outrageously violent or sexual). Even my 4 y/o DD likes American Dad and Family Guy.

Oldest child is 17 and I certainly wouldn't dictate what she watches.

Pretty screwe up to let a 4 yo watch family guy.

Screwed up how? My oldest watched the same sort of shows as a kid (and so did my 13 y/o, BTW). Both are great girls, give me no discipline issues, don't wear or buy slutty clothes, don't fight at school and are respectful.

What hidden damage do you see, wise one?

I don't watch this show. Just wanted to say when I was a kid, if I saw something that was inappropriate - I just didn't "get" it. For example, I remember seeing "Grease". Rizzo fears she is pregnant. I had no idea what they were talking about. The fact that she "skipped a period" - I thought they meant a class. Someone mentions a "bun in the oven" - I really did not know what this meant.

I think many things just go over your head when you're still innocent....

If you tell a 15-yr old not to watch South Park on tv, he/she will likely watch it on a) their computer, b) hand-held device/smartphone, or c) at their pal's house. Indeed, if you fear SP(which I love, and have 3 teenagers) then you probably shouldn't let your kids ride the school bus or attend school. Ever wonder what those conversations sound like?
