Pornography bad for children

New age technology has increased access to pornography by children. Hi-tech cell phones, television, print publications and most of all the internet have made it easy for children to get hold of pornographic materials.

Though, pornography is bad for children as it negatively influences the child’s behaviour. It also causes children to loose dignity to the people around them. Pornography leads to loss of respect for others. Children who are exposed to pornography may end up being rapists and serial killers. Pornography promotes negative practices and can lead to progressive addiction. Porn movies also damage children’s future marriages and their sex life as they grow up. Beside, porn creates unrealistic opinions of sexual relations. Watching porn at a tender age in most cases results in feelings downgraded value of sex in adulthood. It’s sensible to say that being exposed to pornography as a child increases the rate of HIV/AIDS among teens and adults.

Parents and all adults should be super responsible to prevent children’s exposure to porn materials. Children do not have the decency to select what to feed their mind and therefore, the onus rests on the elders.
