I think I've already said this, but people really need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. If your child is doing drugs, don't point the finger at the movies he watches or the videogames he plays; it's ridiculous. The primary influence in a childs life is THE PARENT. The media may have a small influence on someones decision, but it's only because that person was looking for a reason. For example, I've listened to Eminems first 3 albums about a thousand times, and never once have I said to myself after, "Wow, I should go pop some pills and do some shrooms." Do you know why? Because my dad would have kicked my ass, that's why.
