Young people and teenagers today have fewer responsibilities, more technology in their bedrooms, more free time, and less accountability. In addition, they are spending too much time watching and listening to media touting sexuality as the avenue to great admiration and wealth. Our young people are being drawn to imitating this behavior. At the same time some websites are praising sexting as a way to explore sexuality without the risk of sexual diseases.
The headmaster of King Edward VI School “believes that children are living in a society with far too low a tolerance threshold for pornography. Children are being sexualized far too young, he believes. This is contributing to the emergence of their online sexual behaviour.”
Parenting is becoming more difficult with each day. Checking the photos and activity on devices is more critical than ever. Open and honest conservations with our children are vital.
Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right. Proverbs 20:11 (NIV)
