Parenting in a Hypersexualized Culture: Challenges and Solutions
Dr. Gail Dines, Professor Emerita of Sociology, President and CEO, Culture Reframed
Tuesday, February 19, 7:00pm-8:30pm
 
Description
Join us for an important event, which will provide you with insight, information, solutions, and a passion for building a healthy life for your kids.
It’s a hard time to be a kid -- and a parent. Adolescents are bombarded with difficult and ever-changing sexual messages. As a result, it has never been more challenging to raise or mentor kids into healthy adulthood. 
As their access to technology widens, young people internalize sexualized messaging which affects their behavior, attitudes, expectations, and brain development, and undermines their capacity to build healthy relationships.
THE STATISTICS ARE STAGGERING
<UL>
<LI>
Social media use is linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, and poor sleep, and the younger that boys access porn, the more problems they have developing empathy, intimate relationships, performing well in school, and forging friendships with peers
</LI>
<LI>
A study by the American Psychological Association found that the more girls consume hypersexualized images, the more likely they are to be depressed, anxious, isolated, engage in risky sexual behavior, and abuse drugs and alcohol
</LI>
<LI>
On average, boys first view -- either accidentally or intentionally -- hardcore porn at 11-13 years old of age via Snapchat, Instagram, and free online porn sites
</LI>
<LI>
Free porn sites get more visitors each month than Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter combined
</LI>
<LI>
88% of scenes in the most-watched porn contain sexual, physical, and verbal violence against women, according to a peer-reviewed study
</LI>
