Another study – this time a longitudinal tracking children from age 6 to 18 – shows that “the younger children are exposed to content intended for adults in television and movies, the earlier they become sexually active during adolescence.”
The study looked at 754 children, 389 females and 365 males, during two stages of life, during childhood and five years later when they were 12 to 18.
MOVIEGUIDE® and its staff is working hard to alert parents and leaders in the mass media about the huge influence that the mass media has on the behavior of vulnerable children and teenagers.
The dangers are real – the mass media creates the culture that educates and influences children and teenagers.
