Television and Sexual Activity in Teens
Directions Read the following passage. Then complete the activity that follows.
Most teens choose to be abstinent. Some influences can make this choice difficult
though. Peer pressure is one influence. Television is another. Many teens spend more time
watching television than they spend in school or with their parents. The average teen has
watched a total of 15,000 hours of television by the time he or she graduates from high
school. Most of the television programs aimed at teens contain sexual content. Studies have
found that teens with more exposure to sexual content on television often become sexually
active at a younger age.
Debate the Issue
What, if anything, do you think should be done about sexual content on television? Answer
the following questions to organize your thoughts. With a small group, participate in a debate
on the issue. Each student should state and support his or her viewpoint. After all the students have stated their views, they should debate the views with which they disagree.
2. How could sexual content on television be controlled?
3. Who do you think should be responsible for the amount of sexual content in television
programs? Explain your answer.
