Re: Paranoid Parents & the Internet

My mom was always pretty cool about internet issues when I first started using it. She was basically like 'Ok, porn - have an enjoy. I don't care what you do online as long as it isn't illegal. Oh yea, and if your grades drop then you're banned from it forever'.

Pretty good deal imo. Not to mention with all the freedom I kept out of trouble and used the internet as a great learning tool. I guess she figured there was no point trying to set stupid limitations on what I could do, because she knew I would get around them.

Re: Paranoid Parents & the Internet

I'm training my parents. Like, they don't let me hang out with girls that often, so I guilt them into letting me stay at a girl's for the night. They don't like me being on the internet and kick me off, so I just lay around and don't do crap until they let me back on [at which point I show them all the constructive things I do.]

They learn to shut up and not ask questions.

Re: Paranoid Parents & the Internet

My mom won't let me get some explicit cd's, yet I'm allowed to watch fairly explicit movies. Yeah... parents can be a drag.

I'm proud of your mom then.

Parents need to take responsibility. R-rated movies, M-rated games, and Explicit Lyrics CDs are not meant for thirteen-year olds, mmkay? Wait until you're 18.

Your parents have every right to know what you're doing on the Internet. Don't think they're paranoid and don't think they hate you. They're taking responsibility for you. It's called parenting. Some day you might understand.

If you're not even 18 yet, stop complaining. 18 is the magical age where you become legally independent. Anything before that and you're dependent on your parents.

I started watching R-rated movies, M-rated games and Explicit Lyrics CDs when I was atleast in the 4th grade, but that's because my parents made sure I wasn't making any stupid moves in public - which actually did happen once, and I'm glad it never happened again.

Re: Paranoid Parents & the Internet

When I'm doing my homework on my laptop, my parents think I'm playing games all the time >.<

Re: Paranoid Parents &amp; the Internet

I remember I had pretty much seen over 1000 people die(TV), 4 shootings down the street, and heard every curse word by 1st grade, as had everyone else in this poor city of mine. My parents dont care what I do at all unless its something illegal. They try to limit my freedom but to no avail; but its good to have parents who care sometimes, however annoying it may be.

i've been watching r-rated movies/playing m-rated games/looking at hardcore necrobestiality since like age 10.

i turned out okay.




but for serious, it is good that parents are protective...they really want what is best and **** like that. but the OP's parents seem like they think everything on the internet is bad, which is extremely ignorant. i really can't stand it when people think that violence in movies/games/music/internet make murderers out of children. that is so stupid.

also- my parents are extremely lax on me being on the internet and ****. but they were really ****ing strict on me when i was like a little kid, whici turned out for the better.

every kid is diffferent and you really can't have a difinitive way of how to raise them, because it is really up to the kid to decide how he lives...amirite? dunno.

Re: Paranoid Parents &amp; the Internet

T rated games are not meant for anyone under the age of 13. Therefore, little kids should not be playing super smash brothers because of all the bad things it teaches them.

Hope you're not being sarcastic.

That's pretty much the entire point of rating a game "T", yeah.

Re: Paranoid Parents &amp; the Internet

Re: Paranoid Parents &amp; the Internet

I definitely think that most parents are a little too over protective. It really don't matter what movies, music, television, internets, etc your child is exposed to, and when they are exposed to it so much as that you make sure to teach them the difference between what they see and hear and what's really happening in the real world. For example, people don't want to let their kids play games like GTA and Mortal Kombat because of the violence and illegal stuff and because "it's going to teach them that these things are ok." That's why you need to step up as a parent and make sure they know that "yes, in this game, you can steal a car, or kick someone in the face, but in real life you cannot, because your actions have consequences." And you need to be sure that they know and understand these things, rather than saying, "Got it? Ok, good."

Did you see what he said?

He said he can't have explicit CDs but he can have explicit MOVIES.
