  2. I do believe porn hurts children. Being introduced to pornography at a young age can disturb a child mentally. Whether they find it on the internet or is shown by their peers, porn is porn. Porn given to kids is such a critical and delicate situation. To avoid the wanting to be a part of the crowd, keep your kids active. To avoid the curiosity of certain porn they have access too monitor the things your kids do online and watch on tv. When they are at a certain age, have the parent-teenage talk about what porn/sex is. Explain to them the consequences and negative affects of them

  3. I dont think porn hurts children. Children are naturally curious; therefore I believe we as parents should communicate to our children. Its possible teens could have walked in watched there parents have sex that lead them up to watching porn, that don't mean ban sex from America. Porn is entertainment just as Spongebob and Mickey Mouse are, that do not mean ban entertainment. I don't believe u should hide anything that is natural reality more like teach your children.
