[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 411102, member: 84"] Well, one thing for sure.............it ain't helping matters any. Alot of kids actually [B]do[/B] get that most of what they're seeing on tv is hype and phoney. But there are many who take what they see as reality.......because it might be the only example they have to go by.....or because it somewhat mirrors behavior seen at home, or whatever. At the very least, for many it gives them a justification to do what they want to do and to twist in their own minds as being ok cuz someone on tv was seen doing the same thing. In society we tend to put our celebrities up so high that they themselves tend to believe they're god-like. in my opinion this also contributes to the problem. My kids never watched prime time tv until highschool. Mainly because most of it was garbage and I didn't want to have to constantly explain situations I didn't feel they were old enough, mature enough, experienced enough to know about, let alone in the detail that tv often gives. Lucky me.........my kids had little interest in tv even once they hit teenhood............and they still don't watch it much. They find reality tv tacky and boring. Which I do too. But then in my opinion it's just a symptoms of the times.......a very in your face symptom that many people chose to poke their heads in the sand and ignore. [/QUOTE]
