Young people want to see less sex and more friendship on TV. That’s according to the Teens & Screens 2023 Report from the Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA, which found that 47.5% of respondents ages 13-24 feel most TV shows and movie plots don’t need sexual content, and 51.5% want to see more focus on friendships and platonic relationships. Other takeaways:
· 56% of those ages 10-24 prefer original content over franchises and remakes.
· Twice as many adolescents prefer binge releases over weekly drops.
· Adolescents want to see lives like their own depicted on screen.
Digging deeper, “While it’s true that adolescents want less sex on TV and in movies, what the survey is really saying is that they want more and different kinds of relationships reflected in the media they watch,” said Dr. Yalda T. Uhls, founder and director of CSS, co-author of the study.
