    I'm no virgin, I have sex whenever I want, and people do NOT look at me weird
    I'm one of the few who knows what's it like at this age, and no it's not that great
    This is what this "pop culture" is doing to today's youth, it's giving sex so much importance that it doesn't deserve
    I'm not obsessed with sex, there's nothing wrong with having sex once in a while as long as you do it with a person you love and care about, but becoming a slut and sleeping with everyone you see it's not good, however you look at it
    I find true happiness, whenever I drive, I live cars and being obsessed with cars is more moral then being obsessed with sex

    this is very sad....even I as a teenager myself see this. I am sixteen and I am happy that I am not a victim of this, however I hear my friends talk about pornos and sex and other things all the time. People look at me weird because I am not like them. I just don't think sex at my age is right, Porn is a massive sin (since I am a christian) and even if I am not a strong devoted christian I do my best to atleast stick with morals and standards.

      Keep on doing your best in avoiding all immorality, it will only guide you to destruction, you are one of the few who's not inffected with this cancer and u don't wanna be one. People look at u weird because they don't know what you know, theres no doubt you will find TRUE HAPPINESS through your efforts!

    This generation has been raised in the wrong way, not 90 but 100% of the boys and 99% of the girls I know are totally obsessed with sex
    Blame it on movies, blame it on dolls, whatever, it's the parents' fault
    It's because of the way that parents raise their kids today. I blame the whole 'divorce theory' that today's families are adopting
    If two people have kids, they shouldn't divorce, no matter the situation because that is gonna reflect too much on the kids growing up
    Parents should communicate with their kids about everything
    I'm 15, I'm not obsessed with sex, and neither me nor my family are religious, so all that can prevent this is a sane mind
    Spoiling kids it's no good, they'll end up being whores (sorry for the profanity) and will ruin their life
    The fault is on the parents who let this happen, they can prevent their kids from watching explicit content so easily, but people nowadays just don't care anymore, all they look into is "now" but no one thinks in long-term

Thank you for taking the time in writing such helpful notes.

    A sex crazed youth?!?!?!?! Jesus, hormones have nothing to do with that!

      All generations of teens have had hormones, I wonder what makes the most recent generation so different...

    -70% of the women/girls who give birth are on some kind of public assistance. We have a culture of "no accountability". I have discussed with many females, who should be responsible for birthcontrol men or women. And most of the women I have talked to believe the man should be responsible. I can't beleive it!!!!! If I was the one that could become pregnant and end up giving birth and raising a child by myself I would be very sure that I would not "accidentally " become pregnant. The responsibility that came out of the women's libertion movement has been lost somewhere along the road. Ladies you are waisting your chances that the women before you handed down. They developed their brains and had dreams. It seems now the next generations have stopped developing their brains and are quite happy just using their "brainstems". There was once a time when the women/girls brought out what was best in a man. Now it appears the men are now bringing out the worst in women. Have some respect for yourselves. Don't let men have the last laugh. I'm not just ripping on women. I would need more room and time to rip on men.

    It makes me so sad that the measure of a teen's worth is now put on how willing he/she is to do sexually explicit things. Not only is there pressure for sex, but now the rule is you have to be willing to do a lot more than just that. How interesting that girls who are shown pornographis images are more likely to become submissive adults. That seems to nullify one of the major reasons for the feminist movement. And to have males believe that women are only sex objects is horrendous. But, if that is what we feed our children then that is the consequence. I worked with a woman who let her five-year old daughter sing along to Fergie's "My Hump" song, in public. That was really disturbing, and to think that she is letting her young child become some sort of fantasy for child molesters makes me very upset.

    i just feel bad for the girls who are going to turn 25 and wake up and realize what they've let themselves become. the real 'women' that men look at are not the fantasy images out there. a real man will be interested in a woman for her beauty but more so for her natural power. if you think you can become a woman by acting slutty, think again.

    There is no need for unwanted pregnancy with Plan B , the over the counter hormone pill that works up to 4-5 days after sex to prevent pregnancy. No need for abortion. This should be common knowledge.....No excuse for either abortions or pregnancy any more....

    Being a 21 year old male I honestly have the hardest time telling weather a girl is 14 or 18. That scares me because statutory is no freakin' joke. And asking to see a girls ID is kind of turn off, but I guess I had ebtter cover my own ass than look like a total turd.

    I'm so glad other people realize how these images are plaguing America's youth. Every time I see a child with a Bratz doll, I cringe at the sight of the doll's overdone makeup and skimpy clothing. What kind of influence is that supposed to have on a child? There is absolutely no positive message sent through Bratz dolls and the like, and children need to have good messages sent to them. These images in popular culture are demoralizing this generation, and the big businesses behind them seem to only care about how much money they make off of the kids who buy their products. It's a huge problem. Where can kids find role models nowadays? Certainly not in magazines or on the television. I am dedicating my life to solve this problem. When I go to college next year, I'm going to study the media's affects on children so I can create a television production company that will produce good and wholesome material for children. Thank you so much to the author of this article for making others aware of this horrible problem in society. Let's hope we can all do something to fix it.

    lol @ proverb . Just use common sense and be a critical thinker and you shall do well. And remember one more thing..... religions are dangerous.. but they do offer one good thing.... a sort of training of ethics... and you should choose which are right for you and keep those close to your heart. Ignore all the rest of idiotic stories about spaceships and magical hands impregnating women... good luck

    Appropriate is the new word, and it means what's relative. Perhaps its all OK.
