Sex culture ‘too trendy’
The latest figures, which show a frightening 71% increase in child on child sex assaults and a 68% increase in young girls self-harming, reveal that something somewhere with our children is going wrong.
These days they are brought up in a sex culture that has become trendy and acceptable and tolerated by adults, who are also influenced by the mass media.
A Department of Education study said raunchy television shows and adult-like clothes are forcing children to grow up too quickly. Explicit advertising campaigns and “too adult” soap operas were also to blame.
Many people have pointed this out.
Chart topping songwriter Mike Stock said “pop music is an unmistakable descent into pornography” and Dame Shirley Bassey criticised today’s pop stars for setting a bad example in their “competition” to wear the most revealing outfits, rather than singing the best songs.
Actor David Jason, master of comedy in the Darling Buds of May and Only Fools and Horses, said he had to shield his daughter from crude TV.
Former BBC chief John Birt let blast that British TV has become increasingly cynical and cruel and urged the media to embrace the public virtues, however unfashionable, like courtesy, fairness, integrity and compassion instead of dumbing everything down.
Veteran broadcaster John Humphreys delivered a stinging attack on the state of TV at the Edinburgh Television Festival, saying he “was shocked” by how much aggressive, sexual and violent programmes have become, citing soaps such as East Enders and Big Brother resulting in spoilt childhood years.
Sex has always been around and develops naturally without any help but when the sex industry and the politically correct fanatics start to interfere with our youngsters its time to stop it.
Who would have dreamt it would be wrong to call children “boys” and “girls”.
Unfortunately, “trendy, progressive and politically correct” types are in control so we can only expect more sex lessons, birth control advice and free condoms for children who require them in school
