TV has been blamed for a lot of things, but recent research shows a clear link to what teens watch and teen pregnancies.

It may seem relatively harmless to let teens watch racy television shows, but they form their values at this stage of their lives much more through outside influences than through the home and family.

 

If you have teenagers, it’s hard to fight against it. We’ve all heard the cry: “but everyone else does!” The clever parent will substitute alternative viewing tailored to individual interests rather than engage in pitched battles with a stubborn teen. Diversion is better than confrontation. It IS important what teens watch, so it’s worth your while thinking about how best to handle the pressure to allow teens to watch sexy shows without further alienating your turbulent teenager. Good luck!
