View Full Version : is this really a concern
are children under threat because they see stars such as britney spears and kylie minogue 'flaunt it' ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/3106271.stm
IMO the bbc seems to be scaremongering again they seem to have a habit of that these days though every child is diffarent
He's worried that Britneys become more raunchy and children will follow?
Has britney not been raunchy for her whole career?
What about the shoot she did for Rolling Stones a few years back?

Two of the biggest influences in a child's life are TV and music, yes I'd say we'd need to be careful with how 'stars' are percieved. If they give themselves to the public then they need to take on the responsibility of how they are viewed by their fans.

Yes, Britney did that, and also Bouncy Knowles is going through the same 'process' too.

Man she is amazing, she looks like a real woman, not like Avril :D
I don't think stars should have to think of our children before they decide how to dress or act, surely that is our job. I don't think of other peoples children before I do something, so why should they? They are just living their life.

People need to stop blaming their childrens bad behaviour on complete strangers and instead look closer to home for the real reasons.

How is this the fault of the BBC, they are just reporting a news item, most parents of young girls will identify with this problem.

It certainly is mostly up to the parents to ensure children are brought up properly, but what about when relatives are looking after them, or when they are at friends' houses? Who can control what they watch then?

But it should not be a concearn what they watch on TV( with excpetions of course) as long as they are brought up knowing that it is all just fantisy and some of the things they see are not nice then it's fine.

Agreed but kids are at their most influential up to the teenage years....

And that's when as a parent/relative you teach them what is acceptable and what is just for TV. I was never told not to watch anything when I was a kid and I turned out ok, I think.

Yes but I don't think it's just up to us parents - for about 13 years they spend almost as much time with teachers, as well as other kids who may not have parents with the same level of 'morals'. How do we account for them? We can teach them as much as we can but with these external influences it will be tough.

But teachers are just doing a job, like your local shop keeper. It is up to the parents to govern boundries, if you take full resonsabilty and blame for childs actions then it shows that you will adleast tech them the right things.

Again I agree to a point. Incidentally I'm not going to shirk parents's responsibilities but it is also up to the teachers to a level. As kids will often spend more time with teachers than their parents, they need to shoulder part of the burden.

I know you aint going to shirk your parental duties mate, you are a good guy.
But I think it's alot to ask for a teacher to guide each child personally, teachers are there to give genral advice while teaching the academics.

Why thank you :)

Apologies for any misunderstanding, I'm not saying it's down to the teachers alone, but they certain do have some input.
Ok Russ fair enough, but I have a sister in Law that is teacher that would give 100 reasons why they have no power to guide a child when they have no rules at home.

the flaws of teaching are quite clear these days from my point of view there is never enough one on one time with pupils as the system does not work like that but teachers can only do so much
its the parents who have to teach/advise them on certain aspects of there young lives not having a reliance on teachers to do it all thats NOT what they are there to teach they follow the curriculum
