What do you think?

hmm Video games i think

Television...all them young kids 3-14ish all they do is watch cartoons and crap on tv....boring if you ask me

i have a 3 year old who is greatly influenced by tv he acts out everything he sees.

I think that parents would have the most influence on kids. This because kids look up to there parents and they model themselves after there parents. The parent above all the other choices because kids are around there parents more than they are around tv, video games, school and internet.

I really think "Friends and siblings" have the most influence on kids followed by parents. Parents can tell their child that they don't like the clothes they wear, but the child wears them anyways to be "cool" like their friends and to be trendy.

ya g thats true but who do they care more about lol Barney or mom tryin to shove beans in their mouth lol

i would say scantily clad people in pop and rap videos for sure...

Voted for TV, though we don't have one. We just got no time to stare at it. We've got a 4-year-old daughter and she gets all the influence (behaviour) from her playschool mates, and from us, parents. Sometimes she comes to see me playing MOHAA or Vietcong but when she sits next to me, I don't kill anyone, just slightly move to a secure place and save game and exit

what a good father...lol yes, I am 15 and have a 10yr old brother, and when he comes around to see what big ben is playing, I try to save and exit...cause he plays cops and robbers, and killing enough with his friends...
I play a lot of non-violent games with him over LAN, racing games and stuff...he enjoys them lots...and I think you can have fun even without killing...

True B, but it's the parents that turn the tv on for them. And they either let them watch that show, or they don't. So the parent has the power to raise there kids in a good way, by following ONe's and Ben's example of not teaching them violence, or they can just ignore the child and let them do what they want.

I didn't vote, It's friends, peer preasure has, does, and will have the most impact on kids.

I vote school, with relation to peer-pressure, bullying, etc. All that stuff does have a big influence

kids are gonna learn violence either way...u cant completely shelter them only thing u can do is explain to them right and wrong.

Well, its not on the poll, but i believe siblings and peers. Alot of how a child develops is based on his older siblings. This is not true in all cases, but i believe its a factor. TV is right up theyre too...this Wanna Be Black Attitude among general america, of everyone trying to act "ghetto" is mostly influnced by TV.....Stupid if you ask me...

Oh and ben, nice sig by the way!
