Well, considering that some teens are female, I think it's best to keep the red away from them.

The biggest challenge right now is integrated technology, the only real filter is the Holy Ghost.
The technology does not exist to filter cellphones. Therefore no fool proof way to keep it off your child's phone.
It is predicted that porn by phone will go from virtually zero to multi-billion in a couple years.
Furthermore things which most Apostolics would consider harmless. Hand held games.
Some have the ability to go into wifi hotspots so the kids have the ability to challenge each other online.
So what? Well, they also have built in I-Explorer which means once again unfiltered, unsupervised internet access.
The only hope: quit preaching against technology and start preaching Christ, holiness, and inner braces.
I have to agree with the premise it is now impossible to externally filter our kids, families and saints the way it was a few years ago. Then it was simply don't own a TV or go to the movies. Sorry won't work now.
My youngest daughter is part of a pilot program all 1,500 students at her high school are REQUIRED to use school issued laptops.
The parents were assured all filters were in place, the kids could not even get on MySpace. Took the kids about a week to figure out ways around them.
I have spent A LOT of time with my daughters over the past few years in very frank and and candid discussions about what is out there, how to avoid it and why.
Those who know me know I almost never post is this tone. But for this one to me there is no middle ground.
Some will insist on staying Apostolic Amish.
But the ONLY way to win this battle is to focus on inner braces more than external stimulus.

I couldn't agree more with this post. The "pressure" on the inside must be greater than the pressure on the outside or the vessel will collapse!
That is precisely why "filters" wont' work!

Not what the article said.
Teens who watched the raciest shows were twice as likely to become pregnant over the next three years as those who watched few such programs.
It said the teens (girls) who watched teh RACIEST shows were twice as LIKELY to become pregnant. It does not say watching TV makes a teen pregnant

You know the progression. Racing. Cars. Back SEATS of cars. And finally, babies.

Re: Sexy TV shows tied to teen pregnacies
My mom really did stick a bar of soap in my mouth for saying the word "pregnant". Well sort of. She was cutting my hair and was talking to a neighbor about someone who was pregnant. I knew the woman they were talking about, and knew her mid-section was getting fat. So, to my young mind "pregnant"= "fat". A few minutes later my sister came walking in and I started chanting, "Margarets getting pregnant (fat)". Thats when the bar of soap made its way into my mouth.
