How Much Is Too Much?

Television series have started going to drastic lengths in order to get new viewers, but how much is too much and what messages are our youth getting from these shows?!

There is a new show on the CW Network called L.A. Complex which I'm assuming is a modern spin on the failed Melrose Place that the CW tried redoing a few years ago.  This series is about a group of young stardom seeking 20 somethings who all live in a fairly shabby but somehow still nice apartment complex in Los Angeles, California.  The show delivers the struggle that most actors, comedians, musicians go through in order to achieve fame and at what cost they are willing to pay.

The new girl in the building Abby Vargas is the main star of the show, and it  is through that the show crosses some dangerous lines.   Abby moves into the building and her first night there has unprotected sex with a man she had just met while on extacy, and over buying the morning after pill falls in love with him.  Huge woah factor here, this show is supposed to be aimed towards teenagers and it just glorifies unprotected one night stand with a false happy ending of falling in love?  While this MIGHT happen in very few cases this is not the case always, she could have caught a STD, or worst gotten pregnant.  But this show is saying if you choose the right guy to have unprotected sex with when drugged then your set.  This is not the only questionable decision Abby makes.   When talking about money problems another tenant of the building says that Abby should become a stripper like her in order to get money for her rent. Abby's face lights up as she watches her neighbor dance seductively half naked on the stage as men throw money at her, and she takes the job.  In what world do we live in where television is suggesting for teenage girls who are struggling to make ends meet to sell their bodies and dance in front of men half naked while getting thrown money at them. The fact that Abby is excited by the idea is even more sickening and convincing to young girls that this is acceptable.

Ratings wise I understand where the show was trying to go sex sells but the messages teen girls (who besides me are probably the only ones watching) are getting from this show are very dangerous to our American youth. Shouldn't there be some limit or some censorship company scanning the airways for wrong messages sent to extremely impressionable teen girls?
