Jackass the movie Bad Influence?

That is very true. They should be held somewhat responsible in how they affect the kids of America. Even though they say don't try these stunts at home doesn't mean a whole lot.

Not to bored or dense teenagers it doesn't.

Amen you are right.

So you really think that a TEEN can't tell the difference between reality and what they see on TV?? A TEEN can't sit there and watch someone do something obviously dangerous and NOT know that they could get seriously injured if they tried the act themselves?? 12 and 13 years old is old enough to know the difference. They're not 7 years old!

i think generally they can.. but it depends on the child themselves.. for they still are only kids! but its not usually the ones that can tell the difference between the 2 that are attempting stupid stunts or there are some other issues that the parents need to address!

i truly think it might be a little harsh to say that if a teen is "stupid enough to try a dangerrous stunt then they deserve whats coming to them" .. the thing is that if they ARE stupid enough to try a specific "stunt" then they definitely dont DESERVE to be hurt or worse.. they DESERVE tobe more educated .. and dont forget that "teen" is describes as someone aged 13-19... now as far as a 13 or 14 year old deserving pain for doing something stupid??.. i mean is there really a big difference in thought process between a 12 year old and a 13 year old? parents need to be more proactive to stop things like this... i dont feel the media is responsible either ..and im not saying that its ALWAYS a parents fault if their child makes a "stupid decision" but parents ARE human, and do make mistakes.. but it is important that children are taught that what they see on tv isnt reality.. and if they are too young to understand that type of talk, you should strictly enforce rules when it comes to WHAT they are watching.
