Dirty song lyrics can prompt early teen sex
Degrading messages influence sexual behavior, study finds

Teens whose iPods are full of music with raunchy, sexual lyrics start having sex sooner than those who prefer other songs, a study found.

I have observed this study in my ministry for some time. I would like to add to the findings that teen targeted TV shows heavily influence the lifestyles of your children.

This is a battle that must be fought - dodging it is easy, but dangerous.
