[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And two rape scenes.  It's way off the mark for under 18 in my view.[/quote]

Yes because kids under 18 don't drink, masterbate, have sex, possibly could get assaulted and definitely don't commit suicide.  :roll:

Not letting them watch this is like starting sex ed class Senior year.  Too late. Any kid going into high school and up need to watch it. No need to watch it with them either. That is kinda creepy. Watch it separate and talk about it. [/quote]

Read the Post article mentioned in posts above. The problem with this program is not the depiction of things like masturbation or drinking etc. The problem is the deceptive depiction of a suicide somehow being a way for a teen to send a message or get back at those who hurt her. That is not what a reasonable adult watching this will see, but it is what a teen might take away from it. Read what the quoted mental health professionals say about the show in the article. I wonder how many teens--especially those who might have any mental health issues-- can see the lack of reality or subtlety in this picture of suicide. It's really sending a message that suicide can be a way to get your message across. That is what some teens will see in this show, if they are coming to it already fragile. I am truly hoping a couple of my teen DC's friends, who are not in great places emotionally, are not watching this.[/quote]
