I completely agree with the article about how sex is portrayed on television. Being 22 and knowing what kinds of shows are on television and how they portray sex as a thing every young teen does and how it is okay to do it with basically everyone. Some of my favorite shows such as One Tree Hill, Friends, and lots more displayed teens as sleeping with whoever they were in a relationship with, at the age of 15. To me, that’s absolutely crazy. It shows sex, not as sex actually is, but as a fake reality to some people. Even now watching shows such as Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, Gossip Girl and all of them sex is portrayed as something you just do. With Jersey Shore they just have sex with whoever are the easiest, low standards, and if they don’t get it in at the end of the night, then they are extremely upset about it. Now with the show Teen Mom out there, they have these girls who had sex and got pregnant. Is it them showing how “if you get pregnant, you become famous?” This is such a hot topic with the show right now, sure it has stuff about how to prevent it, but then again the majority of people watching it, which is a young crowd, may not know the difference. I just agree that sex on television is portrayed so poorly and done so loosely and with everyone.
