do u think media has an effect on teen/youth violence please explain why, why not

media has little or no effects,
education and family values are everything.

Dahm.. i agree

I think it only effects a tiny tiny part of the teenage population.

come on guys lets get a good debate going there is so much controversy in RL plus my teacher loves mmorpg's so i see some extra credit in the future but i see it as if there is proper supervision there should be no correlation and violent games/music/tv can be a release for violent thoughts

yes it does, yet its what kind of environment you live in that really matters. but yes, i believe it does

come on you guys if i said sro was closing you would all have somethingin to say so y not use ur opinions here
@cyn so if you run around with a blade in sro does that make you want to bring a blade to skchool and pk someone making fun of u???

i know it not violent but its one of the most fuc.ked up shyt ive ever seen ...kids these days they must get the idead that this is kewl from sumwhere and i think media and shyt has sum part in it for sure

it doesnt really efect anyone over 10 cuz they sumtimes think it would b cool to b them and anyone over 10 who duz what they see are fu.kn retarded

I think its media plus the child's surroundings (the type of neighborhood he/she lives in, how they are raised etc.) If you are living in an urban area where violence is not uncommon and then add the media violence, its almost impossible not to do something violent so you're thought of as cool or tough.

holy shart that is crazy ...but where are the parents...minors smoking doing hearioin i mean if there was propper supervision i would bet$$$ that that wouldnt of happened

lol It's like asking if turning on a furnace effects the heat of a room. It doesn't even have to be violent either, media will always effect kids.

lol no, but it does increas the chance of u doing something violent

how and where they grew up has more affects

yes it does...
lemme ask u guys... how many of you guys say noob, if yes there u go u get influenced by online community. Your parents did not tell u to say noob.

which of you say f***? thats an influence of media, and I really hope your parents did not encourage you to say f***.

media is a wide range of influence, hence advertising is commonly used by retailers.

I agree with people who says parents have more influence, sure before you turn 8.

but depends what kind of media your stressing about talking about
Reference.com definition
2. (usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely: The media are covering the speech tonight.

so to conclude....
Media = wide range of influence
wide range includes = many variety be it sexual fetishes or violence

Movies get me.. everytime I watch a zombie flick I can't help but get the urge to blast some decomposed corpses with a sawed-off.

i lol'd

media has a huge effect IMO>>> after watching me play silkroad, my 6-year old sister is acting pretty odd.

Nope, It depends how stupid and the family background of those teenagers. Some-one with and Iq of 110+ Isn't gonna slit some-ones throat just coz of san andreas. It's common sense..

My iq is 152 so can I be sure of that???

Your iq isn't 152. If your Iq was 152 then you wouldn't of posted about having problems quitting sro. O.k?

............
Really, my iq is 152, but if yours was that big, you'd have figured out yourself how addictive the game really is.

My Iq is 136, an iq of 152 is nearing 24 year old university students. Prove it.
