Editor’s note: If you are a parent and a Christian, you need to know who Taylor Momsen is and what her lifestyle means. (Warning: the descriptions in this story are distasteful, to say the least, but highly accurate.)

You may have never heard of the 17-year-old actress Taylor Momsen, but she represents everything that’s wrong with pop culture today…

Momsen is a “multiple threat,” matching acting on CW’s smutty teen series “Gossip Girl” with a “music career” with a band accurately titled “The Pretty Reckless”…

…Momsen may be extreme, but the trend is well-established – the marketing of teenaged temptresses for much older men. Oh, let’s stop the niceties. It’s not “teenaged” anything. These are young girls. Children. And it’s the glorification of statutory rape….

Why must Hollywood turn high-school girls into fantasies for men of all ages? More importantly, what do teenagers learn about sexuality from our brazen popular culture?

The Parents Television Council recently…studied sexuality in all scripted programs in Nielsen’s top 25 for viewers aged 12 to 17 (during the 2009-2010 season) in two hot ratings periods, the first two weeks of the November 2009 “sweeps” period and the comparable first two weeks of the May 2010 “sweeps”…

What the PTC found matches the teen-temptress trend, and it’s a factoid that should rattle you: Underage female characters are shown participating in a higher percentage of sexual action than adult females…

…98 percent of the sexual incidents involving underage female characters occurred with partners with whom they did not have any form of committed relationship. In other words, just raw, physical sex.
