[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't care less about the cursing.  But the substance abuse and p0rn?  That is absolutely NOT okay.  Trying drinking and drugs at a younger age increases the risk of addiction. 
As for p0rn, this is not kids passing around the magazine they found in their dad's dresser - [b]this is access to highly explicit, often violent content that depicts women being abused and degraded.[/b]  Young women are starting to talk about how its pervasiveness has damaged their relationships. How can any of you throw up your hands at this and chalk it up to kids being kids?  We are talking about 11-14 year olds![/quote]

I’m the parent above who expressed concerns about the porn.  I also don’t care about the cursing.

This is definitely my concern.  I think some of the parents above might not be aware how truly perverse some of this content is.  Ask your kids to tell you about the websites they have learned about at school or through friends.  And then, check them out for yourselves.

This is NOTHING like the dirty magazines or videos we used to have access to when we were in MS.  It’s on a whole other level.  The more depraved, the better, because it gets more views and more attention.

But talk about it on DCUM, and you’re deemed  a ‘pearl-clutching Boomer’.  Do what works for you and your kids, but I do think it’s detrimental to teens to have access to this kind of content at such a young age.  [/quote]

Don’t care. Call me a pearl clutched but i don’t want my middle schooler racking up “bodies” in middle school. But yes, that’s what it’s come to middle schoolers conducting lose your virginity contests and who has the highest “body count”. [/quote]
