negative female influences in pop culture? The idea that dumb promiscuous women are more "fun" and therefore more "popular" permeates popular culture. In mainstream music, many female groups are literally "made" and their main preoccupation is to sell sex. When I heard the group The Pussycat Dolls say they were a positive influence on young girls I almost vomited.
Thoughts?
 
Yes, pop culture does influence impressionable teens to some extent. However, the biggest influence on a person's life is their parents.
 
Parents make much more of the decision. The little ones in my family live without TV. Their parents decide what movies that watch at home or go out to see together. There are no glamor magazines in the house, no skinny role models. I went on a diet & that puzzled them completely. Music is on CDs their dad plays. They will tell you make doesn't look good on them because they are too young for it. They are sexually innocent based on the way they talk with me, but are self-aware enough to know their bodies are their own & nothing to be ashamed of & a bit about how things work.

As for pop culture in general, it's kind of nauseating & I avoid large parts of it. When I see magazines at the grocery store checkout, I don't know who most of the popular people are. And that's a good thing in my opinion.

Very good point. We've kept the stoic fear of talking about sex to kids, while introducing freedom & more openess about it all.
 
I agree with you a lot of young girls look up to all these famous women who mostly all have sex tapes and joke about sex and sing about sex and make it seem like it something they should be doing it's pretty lame.
 
its all about money... sex sells, therefore that is how these groups are promoted.

the problem isnt really that popular culture is like this, the problem is that there isnt much alternative education. meaniing, parents dont talk to their kids enough about real life and how sex fits into it... the emotional and physical implications. and the problem isnt just with females, the information available to boys is mainly in the form of pornography.

so both male and female teens are getting unrealistic, cheap and fairly negative messages about sex.

personally i think its time to answer that age groups natural curiousity with real, and sometimes even graphic, sexual information that ties in the emotional and relationship information.....
 
I think it's a good idea to teach girls about sex, and the idea of saving sex for marriage is outdated and incredibly unrealistic, but we definitely don't need more ten year old girls wearing thongs and tube tops. I think it's important to teach good morals to young girls, but also educate them about why the "slutty" girls are popular with boys/men.
 
I was told the Muslim young girls are introduced to sexuality by their brothers.
Pop culture does not exist among Arabs in Palestine and other Arab areas.
