I wouldn’t consider myself an active online user. I have a Facebook page, email, and that’s basically all I use for my personal enjoyment. After watching frontlines “growing up online” It made me somewhat angry. Yes it is more common for teens to have some sort of social networking site, its just normal. However when adults try to prevent and protect us from it sometimes it can be overkill.
Like the story of the one mother and her son, if that was my mother I would lock her in a closet. Seriously that woman needs to learn that the more she tries to pull in her kids the more they will want to pull away.
Not all kids are online doing bad things if they are good kids with good morals they won’t be getting into trouble. I personally feel like I have come from a good family background and I have good morals I know what is right from wrong when putting things online. My friends and I have even mocked people who try and post ‘provocative’ pictures of them selves, it is not seen as ‘cool’ it is seen as trashy.
Most of the kids that get in trouble online are ones that don’t have a solid home life. The reason these kids use the Internet to escape is that there is something in their lives they are escaping form. It isn’t the Internets fault.
The Internet is definitely a huge part of our generation but since we grew up with it, us kids are aware of the dangers and know the rights from wrong.
