| Day Of The Dead Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 4772 | I think it's bullshit....Most of the time it IS the parents...Some people live for music, like it's their everything and they find it helps them, but if parents blame music they only have themselves to blame!!! Most of the time, the parenst are the one's who buy the frigging CD's in the first place. |
| Patrick Martin Stump Motor Baby  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 898 | If the parents raise the kid right, they'll know better than to do drugs and shit. Music is just what the parents chose to blame because they don't want to admit that they've fucked-up royally. |
| Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616 | Katyara: I did always mean that music wouldn't be the only influence, usually, in the case I listed, these kids are raised in families where suicide bombers are worshipped, and just to make sure the child is 100% with them, they surround the child with music, DVds ect saying to do these these things. |

| Lovesick Melody. Bulletproof Heart  Age: 83 Gender: Female Posts: 25760 | If someone cuts themself because a band or singer says so, then I think something is wrong in the way they were brought up. I mean, who has more influence, parents or a band? It's usually parents, they control a lot more of what their kid does. If the parent(s) blame music then I think they are just trying to find another person to place the blame on other then themselves. |
| Jesse Lacey; Awake and Unafraid  Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 12077 | Lovesick Melody.:EXACTLY. And if the parents don't notice the child has cut themselves, then something is wrong there, too. It all centers around the parent in the situation. |

| doctor. In The Murder Scene  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 23302 | DIE! DIE! DIE!: Yes, I realise that not all people are unstable enough to do that and it's good to know you wouldn't. However, some people do take things like music too litterally when it comes to lyrics that may be worrying or encouraging them to do something awful. The example I made before, I still stick to. If people are metally unstable enough to copy out a murder in a film, who's to say they won't do it in music? |
| rise_again_tomarrow Joining The Black Parade  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 230 | teh Paigerzzz!: yes, exactly my point... like eminem says "they say music can alter moods and talk to you, but can it load a gun and cock it too? Well if they can then the next time they insult a dude, just tell the judge it was my fault, and I'll get sued" I mean, if anything i might be dead or LITERALLY insane if it weren't for music! It keeps me in check.... |
| p a n d a_xx Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2123 | I believe blaming childrens problems on the music they choose to listen to is compleat bullshit. I mean for most teens it gives them life and comfort, keeping them sane. I think the people around the child that is causing the drugs/guns/suicide because they do nothing to try and stop it 99.9% of the time or the method isn't effective enough to get the message accross. I know for a fact that if it wasen't for music and the message it sends (My Chemical Romance) then I might have commited suicide because of the stress and pressure on me. Music I know for a fact keeps me going everyday and their is not one day when I can't listen to my music or I would go into depression or break down in some way. Yeah that sounds mental but it's true. I remember after Virgina Tech, some people blamed MCR in some way for being linked because the killer listened to them or some crazy bullcrap like that. |
| LittleSydneyScissors Jazz Hands  Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 367 | It's not the music. It's the parents. If they think they're raising their kids right, then they should make sure their kids know better than to do drugs, or commit suicide and such. And some people have nothing more to live for and depend on than music. In fact many people, would have committed suicide without music. Especially in those cases, blaming music is not right. And it's not like most of these bands or singers try to get kids to do these things. |
| dark desire. Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2200 | Can I take a moment and be devil's advocate? A lot of people here(myself included) have been "saved" by My Chemical Romance's music. Right there, is proof that music DOES affect you, so who's to say if it can affect you positively, it can't affect you negatively? If it saved your life can it also give you a nudge over the edge? |
| RaggDoll Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 12 | in some cases music may be the blame! but parents are just as much as a blame! ..L.. |
| Radio Saturday Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 3513 | I would agree with what many of the people here have said -- that when kids behave badly, it's kind of foolish to blame it on music. It's so easy to blame something like that, but it's silly, because parents and the people that kids hang out with in real life have a lot more influence than the music they listen to. If I were a parent, I would try to check on who my kids were hanging out with if I thought they were behaving badly. But that's just me. |
| Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616 | ishowidisappear: Thank you. That is a good point. a great number of people here claim to be have saved by music of some sort, yet at the same time deny that music can't have a negative effect in any way shape or form. |
| jamesy Killjoy  Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 73 | If what we listen to denotes the amount of 'evilness' in us.. what was Hitler listening to? |
| Marcher Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 465 | I agree with the whole it's the parents at fault. They're the ones who raise their children and buy the music a lot of the time. They should be responsible, they're purpose is to raise the children, they should be raising them right |
| mcrfanwhore101 Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 38 | I think of your easily influence by music the only person to blame is yourself. Have strenth and believe in yourself and only yourself to stay strong. |
| sparklinggrey Jazz Hands  Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 327 | Lovesick Melody.: why is everyone blaming the parents? it's not just the parents who influence kids or something |
