This is why I don't really forbid my kids to see most things that are popular by their peers. My experience is the more forbidden you make material, the more likely the child with start sneaking it. But what I do is make sure that I watch it WITH them and we talk about it. This is why I spend way too much time watching Zack & Cody & Hanna Montana when my daughter was a preteen. I'm not talking about letting a 6 year old watch R rated movies.
On the other hand my children have both been very sensitive to things that were scary. To this day DS15 won't have ANYTHING to do Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, book, both movies just freak the kid out. And I remember getting really irritated at a daycare center that was showing scary movies to the Kindergarten kids right before Halloween. These movies were NOT appropriate for young elementary kids, don't know what they were thinking.
