Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Know what Im about to blame parents for there children under the age of 18+ for internet usage:

Im tired of seeing on the news an washington Journal on Internet Saftey.

No matter how much some parents/students want to see internet improve there safety online. It may secure some children but -

People lie it's not hard to make a false account on the internet these days, An then when things go bad for them children eatheir:

CyberBulling
Cybersex/Sexual content
Giving out personal information
Meeting people in real life off the net that they bearly know
Commiting Crimes online
Online Dating
Ect....

Parents is it hard to watch over your childrens shoulder while there online?

I can see if some want privacy but as long as there in your house, eatting food on your payroll, sheltered, clothed,ect. You have every right to see what they do online.

If they don't like it then tough for them - There are people out there that don't care who you are, where your from. That have very easy ways to harm/abuse your children with out you knowing, An then when you find out of course your going to be pissed at your child But hey whos fault is it? Yours ... Cause you fail to watch them/check on websites an people you don't know that been chatting with your daughter or son.

An also your son or daughter can be using the internet to do dirty work -

Sex Offenders/ Ex-Cons Use the internet
Future Offenders Use the internet
Terrorist/Extremists Use the internet
Hate Cults such as: kkk, neo-nazis,white-power groups, ect.. Use the internet
Gangs: Bloods, crypts, MS-13, ect.. Use the internet
so on... an on..

This is very real ... Never say oh my son or daughter would never vist these sites or chat to these people cause anyone can be on that list above.

AIM,MSN,YIM,XFire,Ect.. : These are Dangerous for most people, Im sorry but people under audlt age should only be allowed to chat among friends and family (real life). Those messangers are breeding pits for trouble.

Never meet anyone online in real life that you do not know in real life with out audlt supervision. Otherwise those people might say who they are but chances are there wrong an they probley will use you an/or kill you.

There are groups out there that are cracking down on finding sex offenders an such on the net. But leave it to them - don't go an be stupid.

As for online dating: I still believe 18 or older should only do these kinds of things, cause most are mature by then. Having a Gaia bf/gf im kind of 50/50 on that - even though its not real its possiable to get into as much trouble as if it was a real online relationship.

Im telling yeah wait until you find someone in real life to date an what not, Internet relationships rarely last, and sometimes can end in death for those who are stupid an give out personal information. It only takes a Full name, address an phone number to have someone find you.

An for them Myspace/blogging sites becareful on them, Don't lie about your age theres a reason now why they have underage children to set the accout profiles to private - so them sick a** people that are targeting young kids/teens can't get into your things..

If you lie cause you want older men/women on your pages - Want the attention, think your badass/cool, think nothing will happen well think again its only a matter of time... you are risking your on life.

Now for use 18+

Seriously don't date people under 18 .. First its Jail Bait, Second it will get you in trouble or even jail time.

Being friends is one thing but dating is different - I know theres alot of sexual active people out there but seriously go around your age group lol.

Gaia : This site was made for 13+ people anyone under the age needs parental vision to access this website (sadly to say you ignore the rules an policy.)

So in 13+ means in 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21+ Theres no age limit for the + I can be 102 years old an have every right to be on this site.. This site is run by 18+ people you need to be 18 to own a server unless 17 with parents permission.

So lay off the older ppl about being to old for a forum game.. Cause we can simply say your to young for the internet. (never ending word war.)

Don't pretend to be young or old you have an age for a reason be proud of it.

For those in forums that give people s**t in the LI forum: Grow the ******** up seriously, If you had a LI an post it in a topic an I cyberbully use Im sure you report my a** or get very very pissed off.. Get my point lay off..

Got no advice that helps then don't say anything..

As for lables: Emo/Goth,Jock/Prep,Stoner,ect... IT's a ******** lable grow up you immature little asswipes - If you dislike them cause they might be diffrent from your group of ppl then don't bother them.

You wanna know why most school tradgities happend? Ah lets see bullying/teasing, physical abuse, mental abuse, so on.. An then parents say its these sertant lables an music .. I blame the parents once again for not raising respectful children and sorry for those who lost there lives in them terriable events..
----
Not all emo's cut them self, suicide, ect.. not all jocks take steriodes, are dickheads, ect.., not all preps are annoying, bitches,ect., Not all goths are into satism, witchcraft, death, ect... So on - Grow up.. once your an audlt living on your own ect.. Theres really no more oh "he/shes a Jock/goth we must make life hell", Grow up.

Im sure by now people reading this are like yeah yeah .. He don't know s**t so on.. Well my thoughts if I don't know anything then plz explain to me what I don't know?
