Kids having sex?

Question

Does it bother you that so many children have access to obscene comments and images on Yahoo? Should Yahoo be the one responsible for shielding our children? Have you seen the pics available on 360???

Should the parents be the ones protecting their children or should Yahoo hold the responsibility?

I'm very sickened by what's available to young children. No wonder there are more kids having sex at younger ages...it's all they see. Everywhere...TV, internet, music, and video games. Sex is everywhere.

Answer 1

That's what's wrong with the world today. Parents want to blame someone else when their kid does something they don't like. It is YOUR responsibility as a parent to shield your child from what you want them protected from. If your child was about to get hit by a bus, what would you do? Yell for someone to help him, or jump in front of that bus and save him?

Answer 2

The parents are responsible for what they teach their children. The environment cannot and will not change on every little whim. If parents do not like what they children see on the internet, then they need to either watch their children every time their on a computer or purchase some software that regulates where their children can go on a computer.

Don't hold the rest of the world responsible for what parents fail to do. Children have sex at a younger age because the parents allow it. If they didn't want their children doing such things then they would've played a more active role in the children's upbringing. If the parent fails to notice the MA rating on the video game, is it the company that made the game's fault? No, they did their part, labeling it as Mature. The same holds true for movies and numerous sites on the internet. Most sites on the internet will supply information about the nature of the site. If the parent fails to read this, then it isn't the fault of the movie makers, the video game makers, or the internet that the children were "influenced."

Either shield the child from those things or explain them ahead of time along with the consequences too. My parents informed me a long time ago about the things I heard in music, saw on TV, video games, and such. When I became old enough to actually encounter such things, I wasn't shocked. Rather it was mildly interesting, but not "forbidden" or "unknown." Instead, I failed to see the value that was placed upon it, and was more interested in doing other things. I knew the consequences and saw these consequences go into effect as numerous girls became mothers much too early--just as my parents said would happen. I still don't have any children even though I have a husband now. I understood the consequences and decided to do other things first, before I entertain the idea of parenthood.

It's not an evil world, and people with a good head on their shoulders are still produced. Parents need to adapt their parenting techniques to the world, because the world will not tailor itself to them.

Society is changing. Internet it everywhere and so is TV. You can't keep a child from learning about the world because this is how things are right now. Yahoo is not responsible for inappropriate images on the Internet. If the parents don't want their kids watching pornography than they won't let their kids. But sooner or later kids will find out. You are right kids are having more sex but sex is everywhere (as you stated) and there is nothing you can do about it.

Answer 4

It is the parent's resposibility. If more parents were strict when it comes to the internet and dating i don't think their would be so many teenagers having babies.

Just because you see something about sex does not mean you have to do it. I don't care what people say about peer pressure because i was a teenager not that long ago and i didn't have sex because whoever else was or i didn't smoke pot just because they did either.

People should put their computers in a open space like the living room where it can be monitored. Do you know i didn't get on the internet until i was 18.
I guess my parents cared for me and no i was not a teenage mom or bride. I took it up on myself to be careful about sex.

No i haven't seen the pics on 360

Answer 5

sex does no longer equivalent infant. that's wonderful what number adults and teens do not comprehend the right strategies of birth control, and that is the position we ought to continually concentration. the placement isn't sex, (ok at 11-14, 15 it really is about sex) yet probability-free sex. young children, even if 18 or 24 are too youthful to have children and a present day severe college grad is in no extra valuable position to develop a baby than a 17 12 months previous, even with each thing, severe college tiers are worthless and to get a job one desires a minimum of a bachelor's degree. besides, probability-free sex is thoroughly ok for an older teen, yet those who do not comprehend precisely the thanks to stay away from being pregnant/ailments ought to no longer be having sex.

Answer 6

I think everything we do as humans could be held accountable to someone else. Everything we do could effect someone else even without us knowing it. I have children and I watch carefully what I say and do. I also monitor what they see and hear, but I have a neighbor who cusses up a storm loudly outside. And I think it my right a person and as a christian to talk to her about it. When we are outside we all watch each others kids. We don't want any harm to come to them any more than our own. We had a registered sex offender move in to our neighborhood and we all took care of each other. All of our kids are the future not just certian ones. I think that better protection should be looked at from every angle because in the end we only have each other and our faith.

Answer 7

I think the adult population, as a whole, needs to ease up. Because a small percent of children choose to be irresponsible and mess up their lives all children/teens have to take the heat for the mistakes of others. I have no 'friends' who have sex. I have only one 'aquaintence' who is 'having sex' and the rumor around school is that her parents let her do it. Her parents provide her with birth control and allow her to date a 17 year old boy that she has been dating since she was in seventh grade. Most parents knowwhen their children are having sex, and those are the parents to blame. Teens, as a population, should not be doubted and frowned upon because of the small percentage. Adults are becoming paranoid and they all think that their children are having sex and in turn want to pass the blame onto somebody else. Adults blame everyone but themselves. Internet doesnt cause kids to have sex, bad influences do.

Answer 8

Parents are ultimately responsible for what the children do and see. That is why companies build tools to block certain sites.
Parents have become too lazy and place the blame for everything that happens with the children on everyone else besides themselves. Children using the web should be monitored- by the parents. When the parent feels the child is responsible- is when they should allow them to surf unsupervised.

Answer 9

I totally agree with you and I think that it's a lot to do with up bringing. A lot parents these days don't really pay attention to their kids or discuss sex issues with them. So where do they learn it from, TV, ridiculous rumors and info from inexperienced friends, and now days off the internet, so this is what we end up with a society of a bunch of ignorant kids with no morals having sex and making babies that they can't and don't know how to take care of. So in turn the cycle will just continue with a bunch of dummies raising and producing more dummies with no morals or family values. It's the parents to blame not Yahoo, TV, music, or internet.

Answer 10

I think parents hold the ultimate resposibility. However, you can't shield your kids from everything out there. It would be easy to blame every internet site that has risque pictures on it. Honestly, kids will have sex if they chose no matter how they were brought up. To me, the most important thing is teaching them to protect themselves. I'm not encouraging it by any means. But you can't stop what they do, you can only try to keep them safe.
