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. The O.C., One Tree Hill, Laguna Beach and show like them glorify young people beingrebelliouss towards parents and teachers, sexually care free and a host of other un-realistic and destructive behaviors.
This is a battle that must be fought - dodging it is easy, but dangerous.
