Porn Session
Posted on: September 24, 2009
The average age a young person is exposed to porn is 11 and statistics suggest that 90% of those between 8 – 16 years old have viewed porn online.
These are just a few of statistics about pornography which is becoming one of the fastest growing addictions in the world. The accessibility of porn has gone from being a ‘top shelf magazine’ product to become available at the click of a button, in fact 26 children’s characters are linked to porn sites including pokemon and action man.
That’s why it’s so important as youth workers to encourage young people to protect themselves from these dangers (and encourage their parents to put filters on their computers too), what may start off as an accidental peak can easily become an addiction.
Today we have put a brand new session online aimed at exploring the issue of pornography openly and honestly with teenage boys. We hope you find it useful in your youth group.
It’s important that this session is done with boys (having girls around will embarrass them) and it’s also important that young people are encouraged to be confidential within the group.
