Reform The Age Limit for Rated "R" Movies


Reform The Age Limit for Rated "R" Movies
The Issue
When watching rated "R" movies at AMC Theaters in North Carolina, you must be eighteen years or older to view a rated "R" movie by yourself or with a group and must be accompanied by someone that is eighteen years of age to view a rated "R" movie if you are under eighteen.
Reducing the age limit to view rated "R" movies to fifteen years of age and requiring the approval of one or two parents and/or guardians.
I started this petition because...
I recently moved to North Carolina in October of 2018 and found myself fortunate enough to live next to an AMC Theater. Currently, it is April 10, 2019, and I have found myself in so many situations where I have been asked by the employees at the ticket booth if I am viewing the movie with someone that is eighteen years of age or older. I am in high school and apart of Generation Z and I believe that modern-day high school students (Generation Z) can handle the gore, violence, nudity, and offensive language depicted in rated "R" movies.
Reducing the age limit to view rated "R" movies to fifteen years of age and requiring the approval of one or two parents and/or guardians.
