A current dispute among teens in America is the age you have to be to get into a rated-R movie. Movie Theaters in the area are now requiring that you are 17+ years of age to be allowed into the movies without being accompanied by a parent. Parents are no longer allowed to buy their children’s ticket and leaving afterwards, they must remain and watch they movie with their child. If you are suspected of being underage you will be asked to show I.D. and if not you will be removed from the movie theater without a refund. Is it fair for the parents or children? Due to many violent attacks of teenagers and children, the government decided to crack down on the age for watching certain rated movies. They feel the limit to these graphic movies will limit the violence they see and that can potentially inspire some of these children. They enforced photo identification to be seen before allowed to purchase a movie ticket for rated R movies and if under 17 you must be chaperoned by a legal guardian. The government and many others believe that this policy and enforcement will keep it safer for many costumers and reduce the violent attacks from teens. The government states that a R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. In addition, parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. I believe that you should not have to wait until your 17 to get into an R-rated film by yourself. All together it is unfair and demeaning to us as young adults. As a teenager, it is all about freedom and being able to do things without our parents always having to be there or do it for us. I feel this policy is taking away from that little bit of freedom we get and at the same time reducing the
