The Prevalence of Online Pornography and Its Impact on Children
The exposure of children to online pornography has become increasingly alarming, with statistics indicating that a majority of U.S. children encounter such material by the age of 13, and many as young as 7. This pervasive access raises serious concerns about the absence of appropriate sexual education given the cultural landscape that often misguides young people about sexuality and identity. The urgency of addressing this issue lies in the reality that if parents do not take the initiative to educate their children, external influences will shape their understanding of sexuality. The responsibility falls on parents to equip their children with the knowledge and values necessary to navigate these challenges effectively.
