If you have a nine year old then you know of this cartoon. How it is completely inappropriate for a children’s cartoon network. It is a cartoon resembling that of a “Survivor” or one of those cheesy, no substance, TNA sporting, mind numbingly boring shows. I don’t understand why we have to bombard our kids with such junk that is dressed in sexuality and adult issues. Can’t we just let our kids be kids. They shouldn’t have to worry about who their next conquest is going to be or how overwhelming and embarrassing it is to have to practice putting a condom on a banana at age 12. If parents were doing their job it wouldn’t be necessary to shove this crap down their throats until they are ready for it.
Don’t think that I am a parent with my head in the clouds because I am not, but I have a nine year old and I know where he is. I will know where he is at 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. I don’t believe you get the absentee parent excuse just because you are busy. At that age they shouldn’t have the opportunity to get into the kind of trouble that requires a sexual education lecture.
I want to be the one to tell him about friendship, dating and sex. I want to be the one who tells him the importance of safety and the consequences if you are not. I want full disclosure with my child, although I know there are things he is not going to share. I want him to feel comfortable coming to me with any kind of issue.
It just saddens me to see what we are doing to our kids.
