Has your teenage daughter been wearing smaller and skimpier clothes all of a sudden? Is your son suddenly using words that make you cringe with disgust? Did it ever occur to you that they may be idolizing actors and actresses from adult movies? You might be wondering where they saw these men and women.
Although, most parents don’t really concern themselves when their children start acting differently, as a responsible guardian, you should because we cannot always blame it on the fact that they are growing up. The changes might not even be hormonal, or coming from peer pressure. These changes might have been triggered by something they have watched on TV, seen on magazines or heard over the radio. Media has a way of twisting terrible facts and making them seem more acceptable to society.
If you have not been up to date with current events, you might want to check out gossip websites to find out which superstars are dating porn stars. With these Hollywood icons seen with adult movie stars in red carpet events, it won’t be a surprise if your daughters start thinking that it’s cool to imitate or date porn actresses. With images and videos of these actresses, half naked and walking hand in hand with famous celebrities, your children might assume that the only way to fame is by selling their bodies.
It would seem that not only movie actors are into hanging out with porn actresses, music stars (especially those in the rock genre) have always been associated with a number of famous porn actresses. These women, of course, in their obsession with popularity do not mind having their pictures - scandalously clad – splashed all over tabloids and magazines. If your son has been listening to a lot of rock songs and idolize these music stars, you might be in for a big surprise as they might start dating women who might be called skanky.
Although some say that Playboy’s videos should not be compared to hardcore porn movies, children will not notice the difference. All they can see is that these actresses and actors seem to be the center of attention.
If this mindset is prevalent in young teens, parents should be cautious of the side effects. Not that all teens will venture into this kind of career, but other ideas might take root. Such as becoming addicted to watching porn movies or reading adult magazines. Girls might even consider posing nude for magazines, just to have a taste of popularity.
It’s time that parents take a stand on how the media portrays porn stars; not as role models or dream girls to the younger generation. But as actresses who have chosen a different path to success.
Do not let children continue to believe lies pronounced by the media as acceptable; but uphold family values to keep your in safe environment. Though the society is prejudiced against these women, we have to remember that are trying to earn money and have a shot at fame and fortune just like the rest of us.
