[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stand By Me is rated R
Shawshank is rated R and has male/male rape scenes

Geez, people. [/quote]

You think 12 yr olds don't know about rape? Come on. I don't care if a movie is rated R. Generally if it is I'll either watch with my kids or watch before so we can discuss it, but I was NINE when I saw Stand By Me, and it didn't damage me at all. The most upsetting part to me was the scene in the water with the slugs. [/quote]

I think twelve year olds don't WANT to know about/see rape and that twelve year old boys in particular are not old or mature enough to justify showing them prison rape depicted. That is traumatic and not appropriate for a sixth/seventh grader. [/quote]

Eh, I think it's important for kids to know about rape and quite frankly think there's nothing wrong with them seeing how awful prison would be, right as they're getting to an age of more independence from parents and may be more likely to do things like shoplift, etc. I don't think it's traumatic OR inappropriate for the average kid of that age.[/quote]
