"The bigger questions should be why are girls this age watching these type programs and, even moreso, why are these busybodies asking them about it to begin with?"
I cannot believe some of the stuff that goes on on that show...teaching teens about smoking is the LEAST of my concerns! Some of the episodes that you can get on DVD are borderline soft-core porn. And I'm not just talking 'Fashion Porn,' LOL!
However, you know I'm on board that these shows were made for ADULTS not for pre/teens and it's up to parents to monitor their own kids concerning sex, fashion, drugs, smokes and rock-n-roll; not the rest of us.
I have never seen the program, so will accept that which others relate about it. But I agree with you. As parents it is OUR responsibility to monitor our children.
My 8yo's favorite channel is Animal Planet.....but there are even shows on there I will only permit her to watch if either my husband or I are watching with her.
