I honestly don't think it's my business what other kids do on the computer, and I still don't see Cyber Bullying as this huge thing. It's not like people on the internet can punch each other yet, and internet insults are not too bad of a learning curve for learning to tolerate being insulted. If they feel like victims from what's said to them over the computer, imagine how they'd respond to it in real life.
I'm not saying cyberbullying a big thing, but it is a thing, and can become a big thing for some kids. They don't think like we do as mature people. They see 500 comments abusing them on a scale and on a tone that doesn't normally happen in the playground.
While I do agree somewhat, I think a certain amount of freedom should be allowed. I'd vie for secret surveillance at most if the kid warrants it.
I never said no freedom should be allowed. Any kid who is even remotely like I was as a kid would react way worse if they feel too constrained.
I happen to believe internet porn is really bad for men of all ages especially, and this is why: http://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/porn-debate.
I personally think porn's main unhealth concern is how it can tweak with their expectations for future partners, but anything with erotic themes will have this risk. Beyond that, masturbation is healthy, they won't get STDs or get anyone pregnant with it, and it helps for trivializing sex as a whole instead of it naively seeming like this shocking mysterious thing. While for men it can condition the penis to get off faster (but also recover faster), for women it can help them become more in touch with their bodies, something that's helpful when so much of sex is mental.
I wasn't crazy enough to suggest forbidding masturbation to kids, that's impossible and even unhealthy, I know I couldn't even think straight without some release in my teens. Masturbation and getting to know your body is fine. Porn addiction is bad.
There will always be the people who "use it wrong", but they'd likely use other resources similarly if they weren't confronted with these ones.
The community/fandom thing was an example I gave in the situation when it affects the kid in school and socializing in real life, when the kid get lost in made up worlds that disconnect him from reality.
What do you think TPG is picking up from here that's maladaptive, and are you saying that TPG has bad parents (at least when it comes to being inattentive)? At what point does it stop being concern and start becoming Think Policing?
Thee are better and more useful ways for a 15 yo to spend his time than role play cocklet suckling with Jim here. I don't know much about TPG's parents tbh.
Many think the kid is safe in his/her room so nothing bad can happen, while the kid can damage his/her development through anything from unhealthy sexual habits (with the kid finding out that he can't get excited unless his gf is a tranny shoving a 2l coca cola bottle up his ass),
You'd rather they not know about the only thing that turns them on?
That was a reference to sexual desensitizing and perversion of preferences that happens in porn addiction. If you need progressively more extreme stuff to get off as a kid (or even older), studies show normal sex isn't as stimulating.
to being radicalized into islam and running away from home in Syria.
Some might argue that this is a good thing...
I was arguing with you not them.
Does he want one?
Do teenagers want what's best for them?
Are you saying you know what's best for TPG?
Nice try removing the premise on this. Yeah Turncoat I think having a life is better than not having a life for TPG.
