I don't have kids of my own, but when my neices and nephews are over, I make it a point to moniter what they watch. Luckily, they're still at the "kissing is yucky" stage. If you consistantly reinforce proper values, the children will pick up on them. Teens nowadays don't see teen sex as a problem, but it is setting the stage for a nasty moral and self esteem issue as they get older. These same kids that thought it wasn't a problem when they did those things as teens will most likely be the ones trying to force others to do it as young adults. This will generally mean an increase in date rape and abuse. I may sound over zealous, but i've seen that trend happening since I was a kid. Thhe key at this point would be to STAY involved in your child's life.
