Using minors isn't cutting edge, it's exploitation.

Parents groups are always up in arms about something. Your kids probably shouldnt be watching MTV anyways.

Skins (US) is so not pornographic, at least not with the first episode. I would encourage anyone to watch the same episode from the UK.

We Americans need to grow and realize what is going on with our kids, skins puts it blunty in the face and a wake up call to parents.

I didn't know anything about the show but because the phony parent group spoke against it is exactly why I started to watch.

It is way beyond the line preventing smut on TV

Have Mommy or Daddy ever read that play by William Shakespeare--Romeo and Juliet? It's just as racy, but with better English.

Reality is that teens are really like this I know from an inside look into teen life by reading teens conversations on face book

What's more explicit than a Viagra ad?? Video games are more dangerous than a little skin.

So parents don't want the truth about what their teens are doing?

Someone is always pushing the envelope. We need to stand firm, to push back. Not all change is good. Still impressionable minds out ther

But, if iit wasn't this program it could be print ads, store displays, video games, or the Twilight series.

Capitalist pig producers creating "reality" content to appeal to dirty old men!

Many TV shows going over the top...nudity, suggestive, etc. Time for changes. Time for parents to step up...speak up. Let kids be kids.

the law(s) state that if an actor or actress is under 18 yrs of age, it is unlawful and illegal for those persons to be in sexual acts

If you don't like it, don't watch it. It's ridiculous that people really continue to push censorship rather than being open and teaching.

No one seems to have a problem with the 16 and Pregnant show, ironic

I'm generally against any form of censorship, but this show crosses the line - both in the use of teens as actors & the marketing.

The target audience knows more about these subjects than most of the commenters here.

I dont care what they're doing in Europe, in the US this is inappropriate material to put on TV!!

Next thing you know they'll actually be showing full on graphic porn on primetime television. Not setting a good example to our children.

Not only yes, but hell yes! It's hard enough to raise kids today and this kind of crap just makes things harder.

MTV sucks ballz.

I love edgy shows but this one is ridiculous and unnecessary. Too bad MTV depends on shock value and not quality programming.
