WWE

Most of us enjoy WWE. Some of us can even name the 'actors' and are ardent supporters of some of them.

A study was conducted on "The Relationship Between Watching Professional Wrestling on Television and Engaging in Date Fighting Among High School Students." The survey of 2,485 students from North Carolina, found that there were significant correlations between frequency of watching wrestling and engaging in fighting and weapon carrying for both males and females.

The authors commented that "numerous studies have revealed a consistent association between adolescents' exposure to violence and victimization and their risk of carrying weapons, having attitudes accepting the use of violence or aggressive behaviors to resolve conflict or achieve goals, and actually using violence."

The recommendation: "Reducing children's and adolescents' exposure to violence from media sources should be an important component of any violence-prevention strategy."

So to there parents out there: 'What are our children watching?'

To the youth & adults: 'What are we watching?'
