FYI: Our teens see too much sex on television.

Thursday July 10, 2008
This really isn’t much of a surprise to any parent who spends even the smallest amount of time watching the shows their teens turn on. Here is a statistic from Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood:

“In 2003, 83% of the episodes of the top 20 shows among teen viewers contained some sexual content, including 20% with sexual intercourse.”

Have you watch one of your teen’s shows lately? What did you think? Share your experiences and opinions in the comments area.
