People are conditioned to believe certain things so yes the media does play a major role because as long as the money is made they'll put anything for people to watch...go talk to the kids whose parents actually know how to talk to their kids and monitor what they do..and then, the ones who have no clue what responsibility is....you'll notice major differences...i don't even know why you're even asking this...obviously i can't blame the 13 year old.
