might watch on the TV, or what they might see on the internet? It seems that boys and young men envision young women as pieces of flesh that they can see for 35.50 a month on the computer. I think it's wrong that we have succumbed to such hypocrisy. I see politicians, celebrities, athletes, and spokesmen and women on the TV talking about better meals for kids and healthier diets. That's great but they over-look the importance of feeding the minds of our children with a healthy diet of age appropriate programming! Their minds are being tainted by sex and pornography and we comfort ourselves with the delusion that we are just supporting freedom of speech. Who will support the children's rights to wholesome images and healthy examples of adults? If we can't even protect children from the selfish and disgusting desires of people's twisted minds, how can we protect them from, rape, drugs, fighting, suicide, depression, and STDs? We, teenagers and children, are being encouraged to dress skanky, do drugs, have sex and not stay in school. All the shows on TV encourage this; all the porn cites on the internet encourage this. How can an adult tell us on TV to stay in school, not do drugs, not drink and drive, and then promote a show that preaches the opposite? Adults should know that they teach a little with what they say, more by what they do and most by who they are. Adults, especially political figures must be an example to us, so that they can lead by example to others. If an adult is brought to a school to tell the kids to say no to drugs when they themselves had a DUI just last week, the kids will hear only their hypocrisy from the first moment that person speaks. The message will not be heard because they have already spoken by how they really live. When girls are told by Celebrities that have been in porn movies or have done nude pics online about safe sex and about respect, we just laugh in their face. When guys are walking around with PlayBoy magazine or Maxim, how can we believe that they would ever respect us? How can we respect ourselves if we let ourselves be compared to these plastic imitations? Our society is creating an atmosphere and environment that leaves nothing to the imagination and puts everything at risk in the cultivating and nurturing of really healthy relationships. Just as it is important for young women to have respect for themselves and know that they are respected by the men in their lives, men need to pull back from the seducing force
