Raunchy Rap Lyrics Lead to Teen Sex?

According to momlogic.com: A new study says explicit music lyrics can lead to teen sex.

Here are my thoughts on that:


Its not the songs people, I mean really didn't this come out already? When a child doesn't know anything about sex then they want to learn, whether it be through music, tv shows or even books. I can tell you right now that if you aren't talking to your kids or educating them about sex, somebody else it. The only reason my sister, who was my guardian at the time talked to me about sex and it was really brief, was because she found a condom in my backpack. What to know how that ended up in my backpack? Really simple, my sister was a Medical Assistant and worked at the clinics in various schools throughout the city as part of a program with the local hospital. When she worked weekends and the shifts were really long, we would go to work with her, me and my nephews. We would sit in the waiting room and watch tv or read books. One of the staff members came into the waiting room and asked different questions about std's and sex. If you got the question right, you got a prize which could be anything from candy to condoms. Now I was only 12 and didn't want anything to do with sex because at that time my sister had three kids by three different men, plus me, so parenthood at 12 of course didn't look so hot. Once she discovered thats what happened the "talk" was pretty much over with. So how did I learn about sex and everything that goes with it? TV shows late at night, books, magazines and my friends at school. So don't blame the media because parents aren't doing their job. If your "talk" starts out with you asking your child what he or she knows, you have already lost the battle and your kid is no longer listening.
