Sacrilege-

I just stumbled upon this thread, so even though my post is a little out of the flow of conversation, I still think it’s worth posting.

When I was in my last year of high school way back, our teacher told us something on precisely this topic that still remains in my mind clearly. She told us about the influences that movies and goyish music has on our hashkafos. Remember, the worst movies and music then were probably better than the cleanest movies and music nowadays, AND STILL, our teacher explained to us the damage that secular thinking and ideals can have on our yiddishe hashkafos.

One scary thing she told us was that if we wanted to raise a family that is a torah family, we first need to have our own hashkafos straight before we can attempt to impart them to our children. My advice to you is this: From the way it sounds, you are a young girl who will be’ezras hashem find the right one soon and hopefully build a family. You realize that what you are doing has an immense impact on your hashkafos and way of thinking for the negative. Help yourself get things straight now, before you build a family. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for your chldren. Would you want them watching and listening to what you are watching and listening to? Probably not. But in order to do that, you must be solid in your torahdige hashkafos in order to impart the truth to your children.

I wish you much hatzlacha! Remember, you are halfway there! Recognizing that what you are doing is incorrect is possibly the biggest step in the process!
