Half of UK Children Have Seen Pornography

[zekrahminator]

While the rest of the world is focused on being dainty, Victorian, and politically correct, the children have a much better idea in mind. The London School of Economics concluded something that many paranoid parents do not want to hear. Over 50% of respondents to the EU Kids Online survey from the United Kingdom confessed to watching internet pornography. When this survey was brought to Poland, a whopping 71% confessed to the same thing. However, this is where the good things end. Children from the United Kingdom claimed that they received a lot of "unwanted sexual solicitations"...over twice the average for the rest of Europe.

And now, time for a reality check. The above numbers were attained from a teaser to unpublished results of a survey. The results will be published sometime in June. The London School of Economics failed to define what exactly pornography was, or how old a child was according to them, in the teaser to the survey results.

lol, i used to watch porn in school, Porn is a necessary influence on a young persons mind.

 

[imperialreign]

technically, if going by US standards, you're considered a child until the age of 18

If a similar poll was done here in the states, I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were in the 60% range, at least.

But, the US doesn't talk about that kinda stuff - our government thinks we have an image to uphold.

well, sex ed does start in elementary school.

OOoh. Now I understand why this is happening!

50% of uk children are lyers

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

they may not be lying they may just have no need to watch porn especially with all the under-age child pregnancies these days and you dont really need porn when you have your own personal porkhole.

i agree that some have no need
but i bet that curiosity has hit them

 

[russianboy]

They don't NEED it.

But neither do you .

I wish i knew what their definition of 'child' was. But yea this number is hardly surprising at all. Once a little boy turns 12 or so girls no longer have cooties

its more like 13, when the cooties turn out to be breasts.

I never saw porn before I was 18 (divided by two).

Good for them
It's a necessity of growing up

the year 2050, newspaper headlines

"Earth: population 10 really old virgins. As it turns out, sex mighta been a good idea afterall."

Really... humans have sex to have their own kids. its biological. If they arent educated about it, then biology takes over and we have 12 year old parents - teach em the details and they wont be so damned curious.

The UK is the country with the highest teenage pregnancy rate in western Europe. And we're looking at a rate of over 30% in some areas of England and Wales.

In a sex crazed culture like ours it is hardly an issue if children are simply watching porn on the net. ...Just my £0.02

 

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

is pr0n really that bad?

 

[thoughtdisorder]

I'd be interested to see a poll of the fathers who are acting appalled....

 

[1c3d0g]

is pr0n really that bad?

No, it's not. It kept me and all of my friends off the streets and out of trouble, that's for damn sure. If I was a father I wouldn't mind at all if I knew little junior was watching porn in his room. You don't get STD's and you certainly don't get people pregnant by watching porn. I call it an "indoor sport".

wtf: Pretty much sums it up for me.

I think porn is less harmful than being subjected to rap/hip-hop video's...

Well, I think jumping off a train bridge is less harmful than jumping off the empire state building. However, they will probably both end up with the same results......

Rap itself it just annoying to me but ganster rap is something else entirely.

If everyone jumped off the brooklyn bridge, would you do it too? kind of joking but kind of not.

That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen. The teenage birth rate and pregnancy rate is far higher in all of Africa, much of south America and the US to name a few - as for this 30% rate, that is the worst part of all, the rate is actually around 30 in 1000, or 3%...

Please don't pull retarded facts from the air. When I go outside, or even travel to London or Manchester I do not see nearly a third of all teenage girls are pregnant, because they are not!

As for the porn thing, I am neither surprised nor disgusted. Porn is hilarious.
