My boyfriend (18yo) and I (13yo) are going to the cinema next week. We are seeing an R-rated movie. I'd like to hear some opinions. Why do people think that R-rated movie are inappropriate for under 17yo teens? What I mean is, some teens may be "kids" but if raised properly, they don't only think about pop-music, boys/girls/s*x and alcohol - generally - their own butt only. I'm a teen mom (I was raped, didn't sleep around if anyone tries to judge), I have done everything possible to have my twins (4mo) financially supported, I have almost raised my 4 younger siblings since our mom was usually absent. I have learned to take care of myself, considering that I have stayed alone at home for whole afternoons at the age of 7-8 and was also allowed to go wherever I want without even telling mom. I'm responsible and I am interested in way more things than school, boys and music - that's just a tiny part of my world. So, I don't think R-rated movies are inappropriate for me. considering that I have watched tons of these because most PG-13-rated, PG-rated and G-rated movies are boring or childish. Do you think teens like me should be able to watch R-rated movie?
Not that if you say "No" I would stop or someone would stop me but I just want opinions, to see if all of you raise your children not letting them grow up a bit until they are old enough to drive.
