SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK & ROLL
Of the two full months a year that children watch television, much of the content they see is sexually suggestive. "Today's typical viewer sees about 10,000 scenes of suggested sexual intercourse, sexual comment, or innuendo during one year of average viewing," according to research by Robert Lichter, co-director of the Center for Media and Public Affairs. Television content which emphasizes sex does present a picture of the world that young people feel they must live up to. A recent survey of 750 children commissioned by Children Now found that 62 percent of young people believe television them to take part in sexual activity too soon. (CHILDREN FIRST)
