EXPERTS WARN PARENTS ‘FIFTY SHADES OF GREY’ FILM MAY HARM KIDS

While Kim Kardashian is unable to contain herself in her endorsement of the highly controversial film adaptation of the book Fifty Shades of Grey, health experts are warning parents of the dangers of allowing the film’s explicit bondage, domination, and sadomasochistic (BDSM) sexual violence to seep into what is considered “acceptable” in American culture. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, has been publishing weekly installments of her official “Parent Survival Guide to Fifty Shades of Grey” on her blog as the film approaches its release this Valentine’s Day weekend. “Don’t underestimate the impact of the hard sell on your kids,” Grossman warns parents. “Even if they don’t see the film, they are absorbing its toxic message, and need your wisdom and guidance.” READ MORE HERE

A Psychiatrist’s Letter to Young People About Fifty Shades of Grey

I help people who are broken inside.  I ask questions, and listen carefully to the answers. One thing I’ve learned is that young people are utterly confused about love — finding it and keeping it.  They make poor choices, and end up in lots of pain. I don’t want you to suffer like the people I see in my office, so I’m warning you about a new movie called Fifty Shades of Grey. Even if  you don’t see the film, its toxic message is seeping into our culture, and could plant dangerous ideas in your head.

Fifty Shades of Grey is being released for Valentine’s Day, so you’ll think it’s a romance, but don’t fall for it.  The movie is actually about a sick, dangerous relationship filled with physical and emotional abuse.  It seems glamorous, because the actors are gorgeous, have expensive cars and planes, and Beyonce is singing.  You might conclude that Christian and Ana are cool, and that their relationship is acceptable. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated! The people behind the movie just want your money; they have no concern whatsoever about you and your dreams. Abuse is not glamorous or cool.   It is never OK, under any circumstances. This is what you need to know about Fifty Shades of Grey: READ MORE HERE
