Music = Crime?? I don't think so.

There have been several cases over the past decades that say that music has caused teenagers to do irrational things. Saying that the lyrics suggest that teens should partake in certain acts of violence. Those acts have included murder, suicide, and rape. Even if the lyrics in songs do suggest acts of violence, that doesn't cause a teen to do whatever the act may be. Doing illegal harm to yourself or to others is done completely by yourself. Their are things all around us that suggest that we do things that may not necessarily be right. Like T.V. commercials that advertise people smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Just because it's advertised doesn't mean that you have to do it. That goes the same way for songs. Some of my favorite songs were written about doing drugs and having sex. Nevertheless, I don't do either of those things. So, when you hear a song that suggests that you do things that you know aren't right to do, just disregard it. I think that it's completely a mind over matter type of situation. The meanings of those songs will only have a negative effect on you if you allow them to disfigure your knowledge of what's right and what's wrong.
