Do you think when a teenage character on a television show or in a movie loses their virginity it's encouraging teenage viewers to follow suit?

Do teenage characters losing their virginity promote teenage sex?

Well there do seem to be a lot of kids stupid enough to do something just because they saw it on TV...

Kids are hormonal enough, they're not gonna pick anything else up from the media that wasn't already going through their heads when it comes to sex.

I definitely think characters viewing casual teen sex is influential to impressionable kids.

Yes, but as with any kind of outside influence if the child already had a solid enough head on his or her shoulders, it won't drive them over the edge to actually do it.

It certainly doesn't help.

I don't think the show is encouraging teenage sex more than just trying to tell a story. Teenagers could probably be enticed by it, but it probably won't compel any to have sex who weren't already headed in that direction and would have anyway.
