Condom Commercials!

[Karl F]

2 words.... Milton Academy

not a fan of the condom adds
however

13, 14, 15 y/o are all in the "active" list today.... if you followed the story, the one thing that jumped at me, was the "it's not that uncommon", and a lot of the kids were "like, whats the big deal"...
like it's been said E/D commercials morning, noon, and night.
I have kept an open dialog with both my kids.... like it or not, it's a whole different world, than what we grew up in... communication, and education, and hopefully the kids will decide whats best (I'm not saying right, hopefully they've been taught that)....... if not, at least they know some kind of protection, is better than none.


How about the Ted, Fred, Ed add for metamucil thats on right around dinner time.....

I see both sides of this argument...however, I do see where Bigfish is coming from....watching the game with my 9 year old, and the next thing he is saying is " for that long lasting excitement...try Levitra "..."hey, Jay, what's Levitra?".....I will admit that kids need to know...but not on Sunday afternoon when I'm trying to watch the tube.

is when jr high school and high school kids do a lewinsky....

and hey that wasnt sex..... so said our former president...

and so its not viewed as such by the younger generation...

kids need sex education allot earlier in the game before they

start experimenting on their own at age 13 ,14,15,,, and in many cases

even earlier than that. i think the internet is partly or mostly responsible

for starting a stampede

of pornographic sociological changes within our society.

TV was second to movies until the VCR arrived then it took

over until the internet began to have a greater impact.

Lewinsky?

Wearing a condom is like ... wearing a motorcycle helmet.

in days of old when knights were bold
and rubbers were not invented
they placed a sock .......................... oops its not after 6 yet .


Its education ! there are a lot of kids that get pregnant at very young ages ( maybe no one any of us know ) , whose parents are afraid of talking about the S word . yet have no problem to sit down and watch a terminator movie with their kids . sometimes europe is much smarter than we are when it comes to social intelligence .

Do I agree with it being shown so early at night NO and I dont agree with the sexual references on the Disney channel either .

there once was a man from nantucket
whose.... hello operator give me # 9

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.
