It has been a real eye opener to deal with the fact that the average 12 year old has already seen more penises and perverted sex acts (including people having sex with dogs) than most women my age have.
At 12, I asked my daughter how many of her friends had lost their virginity. She didn't tell me their names, but did a count on her fingers, and told me that nine -- NINE -- had done so. She also told me how many were into cutting, and how many were into drugs.
You and your poor daughter unfortunately DO live in a warped, degenerate world. I feel sorry for both of you. The stuff you describe would be very uncommon at that age where I live. I do have multiple kids in middle school, have connections with law enforcement and social services, and am clued into a lot of things.
You can "forbid" your kid to watch it or other sites like it, but all you'll do is drive your kid underground and encourage secret keeping.
Not if you raise you kids right. Raise your kids right and THEY WILL TELL YOU to turn the tv channel because something is offensive. They will seek out good friends and avoid the bad influences. Yes, a few will turn to the dark side anyway, at least temporarily, but you'll have a much better chance to get them back.
Exactly. You just described my daughter.
