We all can blame the tv shows &'nd the popular girls but look at it this way we have the word No!! In our vocabulary rite? Yes... If we don't use it on the moments necessary well its on us &'nd yes im talking with a lot of experiance I've been their &'nd back &'nd I've blamed it on me &'nd my mom for always hiding the conversation "sex, condoms, guys, drugs, parties" but mostley on me becuase I stopped &'nd thought my mom was hiding all that so I won't go through this but guess wat time doesn't goes back &'nd my regrets are none jux that I should've been a good listener.
I believe the two girls had a good point to prove but they did not debate it properly. In my experience, I'd say that shows and movies are instigators of the "party" lifestyle. If I had been trying to discuss their case, I'd say that teens not being taught about sex and protection as children effects their views on sex as teens. I am 17, and my mother never taught me about sex. Nothing. She'd say "Learn about it at school." The problem was that I went to a catholic school, and sex is like the elephant in the room around here. We all know it is there, but we don't talk about it. That is what it is like with the parents. Then teens are exposed to all these things that they do not understand and they are infatuated by it. The only way they know how to experiment with sex and alcohol is the ways they see on television. That is usually casual, premarital sex and getting really trashed and having a great time. It's not too much about popularity as it is fitting in and relating with your peers. And I know I probably wouldn't be the way I am if my mom or dad or school had taught me about the dangers sex and alcohol early on. Media has a humongous influence on people, and since the media is corrupt, people become corrupt. But since we do live in America, it is the citizens' choice to become corrupt. But I think if we understood that it was corrupt, maybe we would make better decisions. man, i hope tyra reads this. =)
I think so. Shows like mostly reality and teen shows have no morals and teens get influenced in bad stuff more than good today. So the media needs to be careful.
i got pregnant when i was 18, i am now 19 raising my 2 month old. i didn't have sex because a tv show gave me the idea. i did it because i thought thats what came next. these tv shows don't necessarily promote safe or unsafe sex, but they do promote sex! sex is every where and sex sells. i just think our generation is so misguided. sex is something that should be shared between two individuals who have committed their lives to each other. not a couple who have been together for a bit and decide its time. sex should come with a commitment. i don't think protection is the issue. i think sex is the issue. i take full responsibility for my actions, but when you fill young girls' mind's with sex. what do you expect to come from them?
TV shows are not the reason that girls are getting pregnant. Thats like saying well I saw someone kill someone on tv so I decided I was going to do it. You are the reason that you decide to do the things you do, not your family, friends, tv shows, and music. People need to stop blaming other people for their mistakes and start accepting that it was their choice and mistake and just learn from it and continue to live their lives.
I don't know, I think in some ways it has an effect on us but in another way it doesnt have anything to do with us. I'm 13 years old and not a virgin. I'm far from perfect I have made to many mistakes. I feel that I have seen some of these things and thought oh thats cool, that girls pretty and shes got all the friends and guys around her, I want to be just like her. I think if we are talk to about this stuff alittle bit younger that it won't cross our minds to have sex unprotected. Teens are getting pregnant at younger ages now a days and alot of it has to do with social lives, I know that at school theres girls going around saying oh, I had sex with my boyfriend this weekend. And that's making more girls wanting to fit in and be like them and not thinking about the outcome at the end. So I think it plays a little role in teen pregnancy.
I think the answer to this question is Yes. If you read the question, it doesn't say is it TV's fault these girls are getting pregnant. It says, are they MORE LIKELY to get pregnant. I work with an organization that teaches abstinance and safer sex education to Jr High and Highschoolers, along with character education and refusal skills. I've been working mainly in office work for now, but I'm in training to go into the classrooms and teach. I've heard so many stories from girls who think they need to have sex with a boy to show them they love him, and when you ask them where they got that idea, they say TV. Sex is romanticised and glamourized on these shows, I should know, I'm 22 and I watch them too. I'm a virgin, but there's been times I've been like, dang, I wouldn't mind havin sex in the back of a limousine like Chuck and Blair on Gossip Girl. And no, before you say it, my parents didn't talk to me about sex. They trusted me though, trusted me to hang out with guys late at night and not screw around. These shows, whether we admit it or not, do effect young people's views on "what everyone else is doing."
I dont believe that teens should blame tv for there actions. I was 17 almost 18 when i got pregant with my twins, I was in grade 12 trying to finish out the year but because i had so many problems during my pregancy i didn't get to finish, and now im struggling to finish so that i can go to college next year. When you turn about 13 or so you should know whats right from wrong your parents teach you wether you listen to them or not is your fault not theres. There are so many teenagers complaning about getting pregant to young and blaming it on everyone but themselfs. I personally believe that ppl should take responsiblity for there own actions, I mean sure it would have been easier for me to blame the guy or my parents or tv but what would i learn from that? Nothing.
i am 14 and there are alot of shows on tv that show sex and teen pregnacy's like degrassi,The Secert life of an American Teenager, and gossip girl.just because i watch those shows doesnt mean i am going to go out have sex and get pregnant at a young age. instead of people and parents blamming all these show for their kids having sex they should sit down and talk to their children to see whats going on in their life. im not saying get all in their business because that might drive them away and cause them to hide stuff from you im saying just talk to them once in a while to see whats going on in their life and let them know you care about them and love them
I think it is about time for our society to stop finding someone other than themselves to blame for their problems. YOU got pregnant not someone on television. If these girls have that hard of a time telling reality from fiction maybe they need to stop watching television. I got pregnant at 18 because I had sex. Not because one of the characters on 90210 was knocked up and it looked like she was having fun.
I absolutely do not believe that watching shows like that are the reason girls are getting pregnant. Its YOUR choice to make those decisions. I believe it is very important to be informed about sex education. Whether you believe that it will happen to you or not, there's nothing wrong with wearing a condom. I am 21, and had my son when I was 19. I do not blame TV for MY bad decision making. Believing that tv shows like, gossip girl or degrassi are the pathetic excuse for YOUR bad choices. Those shows only promote the fake part of life, the stuff that really isnt going to matter when you go to college. The biggest misconception Ive ever heard from a lot of women and girls i talk to is: you cant get an std if you wear a condom. WRONG! Read the freaking trojan package....
All right...It is women/girls like this that set our gender back. NO, you cannot get pregnant from a T.V. show. That is just ignorance at it's best. Blame a T.V. show for your lack of judgement is completely irresponsible and shameless. The T.V. was not telling these girls to go and get pregnant, they weren't telling them to have sex (let alone unprotected sex), it wasn't telling them it would make them popular. It was telling them that looking at these women on T.V. were in the spot light for 15 min, gave themselves a bad reputation, and are now working the club scene trying to get their "acting" career off the ground six years after the fact, all while now working at the local Target. How blind are these girls, and how blind are their parents? The girls that were on the show today saying that, just set back our gender and their generations back about ten years. I am extremely upset by all this. Take some responsibility, if there is anything that the strong women in our history and lives has taught us is that, we have the right to say no.
To any teen girls reading this that may not have had a thorough sex ed class... you CAN get pregnant on your period. Abstinance is the only 100% effective birth control. If you're dating a boy that says it's OK on your period, because the catholic church said so... make him where a condom anyway. It's your body that will be carrying the baby; not his.
Well, i watched this show and it just was unbelievable because i was 15 when i had got pregnant i am 17 now and this is just rediculus i did not have sex to prove i can be popular or have sex to impress my boyfriend i did it because it was my own choice and blamming it on a television show is rediculus just of the fact if u look up to brittney spears dont mean u do drugs and go to rehab because she makes it look fun u dont have a casting for ur bestfriends because paris hilton does if u are mature enough to know what do do during sex then you should be mature enough to relize those shows are not real and the realty shows are not all the way real there too and people need to be them self and making mistakes is not the fault of tv it is maybe the parents who allow children to watch those shows if ur children r that imature to copy the life of anyone else but there own.
I watched TV that age but I would have never engaged in such behavior! I was raised with morals (and by morals I do not mean religious I was not raised in a religious home what so ever!) and with self worth. It is the parents fault. To sit there and say they were there through everything is rediculous! Where were they when you were chosing to have sex at 16 or 17!! Sex should be saved for love and it is the parents responsibility to both show and teach this. If you are unintelligent enough to blame it on TV you should be sterilized and not aloud2 have children because you obviously are not capable of making decisions. The last thing we, as a society, need is more people like you running around!grow up take responsibility. Your parents failed.
