Who doesn't love singing and dancing? Well when you add sex and TV to that, it can be a little too much. I love Glee. I proudly admit it. However, a lot of folks, including myself, were not impressed with the latest episode of this fun show. They didn't 'show' teens having sex but it was implied. Not just one couple but two. People were upset because the show was saying its ok to have sex if you love someone. Well there are a lot of 13-17 year olds who truly believe that they are in love. The media is sending this message everywhere.
I believe that if you're going to be uncomfortable watching something with your parents, it should not be on a major TV station, such as FOX, and shouldn't be coming from a show aimed at teenagers. I was uncomfortable just watching the preview for that episode with my mom.
Its a sad reality that teenagers are having sex a lot more than they used too. But I just wish they could not have the pressure of the media being thrown in their faces all the time. This country is too obsessed with anything sexual. Why?
I love Glee as well! However, I disagree with you, I don't think it is fair to use the media as a scapegoat for a teenagers bad decisions. If someone is solely deciding to have sex based on a television show then there are much bigger problems. Are teenagers really having more sex or are they just more open about it now?
