Interestingly, nobody I know falls into those descriptions... Still, I don't deny that media has an impact on people. That's not really the question though, is it?

Nor is it a question of unqualified permission. My point was that strictly disallowing some things tends not to work, while the opposite - not permission, per se, but reluctant acceptance that it's going to happen anyway - will at least allow children to come to their parents for help, as opposed to hiding it.
