Reply To: Dose of reality: Kids kicked out of school

RSRH

My anger and frustration stems from the fact that I am bothered that I was so bamboozled by hollywood although Baruch Hashem I was able to pull myself out. Of course what we see will have an effect on us even when we stop looking at thesed inappropriate things. I haven’t forgotten what I have seen. The sifrei Kabbalah say that it is nearly impossible to erase lewd images one has seen. So of course I am frustrated but BH I have grown and continue to grow.

I’m also angry and frustrated because I know of a # of kids as well as people who are in their 20s and 30s who were wrecked by TV, movies, music…it kills me that people are so blind to the negative influences of TV and movies. You talk to almost any high school kid who watches movies and they will say “what’s wrong with watching tv and movies?”

People just don’t see the damage and its destroying our youth day by day. I wish I could do something about it but I can’t and therefore feel frustrated.

It kills me that families in BP and Flatbush allow their kids to watch TV and movies. Forgget the hypocrisy in my eyes its like injecting your kid with a deadly virus. I have seen tens of people affected, I see how the kids talk, there’s certain slang and attitudes and facial expressions and body language one picks up from TV and movies. I see how these kids and adults act its all from what they watch and it hurts me because its so obvious how they are destroying themselves.

Its like a reformed addict. It kills him to watch someone else doing it to himself capice?
