The problem of pornography

While most of us go about our day doing whatever it is we do, there are people looking at pornography every second. I recently did a survey with 75 middle school boys and found out some interesting things regarding pornography. 90% of those boys said that they have seen some kind of pornography, even if it was accidentally. The majority of those said that they first viewed it in their own home. Also, a good handful of them have viewed it on a hand held device (phone, pda, psp) which also means they may have seen it at school. It's not a matter of if they are going to see it and be tempted by it, but it is a matter of when. Since pornography is running rampant through our society with our kids as the target audience, we need to talk. When was the last time someone said the word pornography in your home? When was the last time you talked about its dangers with your kids? If 47% of all internet users have viewed pornography, it's time to talk. Yes it's ugly, yes, it's nasty, but yes, it's everywhere! We can't just deny that it's there or that it's a problem. We have to face it head on! If your son is in 6th grade or older, chances are they have seen it, even if it is against their will. It's that big! For more on this issue, what to do, or how to start the conversation, go to www.xxxchurch.com
