Movies. Video Games.
Television. Music. Why not Life?
Hollywood is forced to
admit that bad language, adult content, violence, and drug abuse is not
appropriate “mind food” for teens. Music warns parents that lyrics may not be
appropriate for growing brains. Parents are strongly cautioned against allowing
their minor children to watch TV shows. And Video game designers warn that
games are “too mature” for children under 17.
Life – PG18. Daily doses
of “bad” language, sexual content, bullying, ungodly and/or unbiblical ideology
require parental guidance until at least the age of 18.
Somehow, we have created
an American Myth which says that small children need their parents and teens
need their peers. I would like to interject a PG13 phrase here. TEENS
NEED PARENTS.
