Hello people of the internet! Even though I have yet to have kids myself from observing how my mom raised me I have figured out how to keep kids from doing something stupid and/or dangerous: Just explain to them why they shouldn't do it. Not tell explain, sit them down and go over in detail why you don't want them to do the activity. Take sex for instance: When parents just tell their teens not to do it because God says so and nothing else it makes them curios. Every being below the age of 30 has the insatiable urge to explore the world around them and by smacking the forbidden label on it you don't make it bad you just make it that more desirable. Sometimes they come out okay on their individual exploration but most of the time they come out with a baby, STD, or even a crime.
I say this because recently I became aware of a right wing group called One Million Moms. This group is composed of woman who think that the sexual material in today's media should be banned all together. While I do agree that the world today is a little too raunchy the stuff this group harps about is ridiculous and offensive! Every day these women flood the email boxes of TV stations magazines to take away the programs strictly designed for adults like Two Broke Girls and Family Guy. This type of black-box attitude does not breed the next golden generation but one that has thought owning a person is okay, someone's value is based solely on what is in-between their legs, and that skin color is what decides how people should be treated.
