I dont think I was shocked by the film Kids, although with all the bad things that are going on these days, I hardly find myself being shocked by anything anymore.
These kids, or teenagers, are walking around taking drugs, stealing, deflowering and raping girls, passing on STD's in the process. Yes, this certainly isn't something I'd want to watch, but unfortunately this sort of thing DOES happen.
What's the point in protesting against a film such as this when it is only portraying what is happening in the real world? Sure, it isn't pleasant to watch but I dont think this film is really for entertainment purposes. It's more of a wake up call, to increase awareness of the problems in society.
This website lists the film as one of the top 10 most convtroversial films in the last 100 years, indicating that views of the film are split between it being "a much needed wake up call" and, "exploitation and borderline child pornography".

I agree that the things we see in some films are quite disturbing and disgusting, but as long as they are still being released and talked about, there isn't much we can do about it. If you know it is something you aren't going to like, then don't watch it.
