I mean, what you posted is unfortunate and those kids are misguided, but like I said... at 12-13, people are not matured. They will think and do things differently. Porn caused that in the same sense that a violent video game or wrestling on TV caused one child to kill another. People need to start teaching children to be responsible early on before stuff like this happens.

There is an age limit to porn, and that's 18. The more important question is how are 12/13 year olds obtaining it and why haven't they been educated by their parents that this type of thing isn't wise?

You can provide detailed cases like this all day long, just like I COULD provided detailed cases about how violent video games influences teens, or how abortion is unhealthy for a woman, etc... but there's always a bigger picture.

Not every teen is doing this. Even so, teens will always do stupid things like this regarding their sexual development. Not EVERY teen, but it will happen. Even if porn was ILLEGAL, this type of thing would still happen. It's not the porn that's causing these types of "problems" as much as it is bad parenting or schools not giving younger kids the proper education.

The thing is, people don't TALK to these kids about sex or anything, so when they come of age and they hear or do things they see in school, they're clueless as to what consequences (in this case, STDs and pregnancy) it causes.

Still no reason for porn to be sinful! The MAJORITY of people do not use porn in this manner. These incidents really are few and far between.

Also, it is still possible to completely respect someone and have sex with them WITHOUT getting involved emotionally. It DOES happen. Society as a whole just doesn't do it.

IN the end, it comes down to personal preference. Society is NOT ready for this type of thinking, so naturally there will be problems. Not everyone is open for change and not everyone is open for thinking outside of the box. I'm not saying this way is the RIGHT way, but if it works for you, then so be it. If it doesn't, then so be it. Regardless of THESE cases that you point out, porn itself is NOT a problem.

Like I've said many many times before: anything can be misused. Doesn't mean it should be "sinful" or considered illegal/wrong.

I'm pretty much rehashing my opinions over and over and over, so I'll leave it at this: people use porn (amongst other things like "violent" music and violent video games) as a blame for the problems in our society regarding children (and pretty much anything else). It's wrong. It needs to stop.
