I am starting to agree with you. I used to think it was silly for people to want to regulate sites like this, but the more I see of the garbage that kids are putting on here, the more I am concerned. I am sure my parents have no clue about the site...they probably just think he is using the computer for homework. I think if some parents saw what their sweet little 13-year-old girl or boy is writing, they'd be pretty shocked.
My 13yo doesn't get on the computer. ,She has no idea how to open these interwebs much less make her own space. She ASKS me if she can do something on the computer. Then I am THERE. WATCHING HER.
She is outside playing, like 13yo are supposed to do. Not on the puter, talking to total strangers while I sleep on the couch.
