My mom is doing that. Luckily my brother who checks the mail has agreed to sneak it to me.

essentially: blocking sites that are known as harmful is alright, but monitoring and restricting everything is more harmful than good in the long run

it's like having a stalker, except it's someone you know and someone you can't stop

Nicely said. Though I wish blocking sites actually worked decently.

Here's an idea, maybe teach your kids how to be safe on the internet instead of stalking them and monitoring their every move under the guise of keeping them safe because you had a kid so you'd have something in your life you could control and now it's been 17 years and you're finding out that you can't control a teenager and get them to do what you want because, having had them because you needed something to control, your parenting skills are more dreadful than average and you don't know how to teach your kid to listen to you or say anything worth listening to

Big agree

okay but literally it freaks me out how ignored internet safety is because it's s o important?? i mean ik i was shown a few videos in school but honestly so many kids barely take anything in school seriously and those videos were sometimes bad videos anyway but the message is important too and it's the delivery of it and stuff and parents really need to be more responsible about it

School acts like all internet weirdos are bearded basement-dwelling men who are creepy almost off the bat, but don't really teach that sometimes the person to look out for is the funny YouTuber you watch or the nice person who talks to you in chat rooms. Like yeah, your digital footprint and stuff is important but internet safety is mostly overlooked, especially in high school.

thank you

Though I wish blocking sites actually worked decently.

same, tbh. because while I get that some sites genuinely should be blocked, nearly every site I had tried to get on through my school laptop that was blocked didn't need blocked and it just irritated me more than anything. because it was sites like Pinterest and others that I regularly used and knew was safe and okay to use

I'm not gonna go on porn or some shit honestly don't get the appeal. checked it out a while ago to see the hype, got caught, lied my way out of it, and never went back because it wasnt even that great

My old school had a really iffy blocking system where searching certain words was banned, but it wouldn't take the context into account? So words like "lace" and "hot" were banned, and you couldn't search "hot dog" or "hot chocolate" or "lace craft" or anything. I remember a friend telling me about how she had to search "warm chocolate" or something to find a hot chocolate recipe for a school assignment.

see? school blocking is just so dumb and irrational and just irritates the shit out of the students instead of keeping them safe

At my schools we never had this issue, but then again a lot of the internet regulations are different at British schools. I feel for you all, I really do.

Good parenting: making sure i wasn't telling my personal info on minecraft, reminding me school laptops can track things, showing me how to avoid viruses and trolls, asking that I ask before getting a new app or account for something until highschool, asking that i have my location app on for emergency reasons, asking to look through my sketchbook/writing/etc and being fine if I said no

Bad parenting: tracking/stalking locations at all times without reason (even to adult children), reading every single post online, monitoring all activity in apps without reason, blocking sites without asking or explaining why, restricitng internet usage based on fear of opinions and beliefs being different from their own. And on the other hand, parents who don't care at all and let their kids get away with looking up porn (which is illegal, btw) on school or trackable things that makes the school systems invest in shitty blocking systems and paranoid website banning because they literally can't afford decent ones.

There is a vast difference between keeping kids safe on the internet and controlling their every move and acting like a stalker. Internet monitoring can be done correctly without being an invasion of privacy.

This isnt rude if its just the truth: Emi you are literally so toxic and hurtful to a lot of people, including me and Alex. A lot of them have done nothing wrong, or made any kind of contact towards you but you insist on attacking them. Like wth?

@Katastrophe That was one of the best posts ever! All that information was correct and I fully agree with it! thx for sharing

This isnt rude if its just the truth: Emi you are literally so toxic and hurtful to a lot of people, including me and Alex. A lot of them have done nothing wrong, or made any kind of contact towards you but you insist on attacking them. Like wth?

I don’t think you should be talking to me about being toxic, kid

you actually told a victim she deserved to be raped. I told them I don’t care because I’m a fucking stranger on the internet older than them and pushed them to get help from people irl.

I don’t think that’s toxic, like, at all.

Also what other people than you two? please give me examples, I would like to know.

yeah i feel like someone who told someone they deserved to be raped isn't the type of person with much place telling others they're toxic? you really need to step back and look at your own choices and actions, and grow from that, before playing the callout game

Lmao yeah sure, Emi's the "toxic" one, Rae. Read a fucking dictionary and try again, honey.

Also looking back it seems like you insulted my looks over my argument when I had my first conflict with you

and I’m the toxic one.

Wow, so Rae's just a fucking asshole all around then.

fucking hell
pot kettle much, Rae?

Bruh.
U so wrong.

Space gave her friends updates, you just happened to join the thread and got involved with the conversation that wasn't pointed at you. And the whole point is that she did try to get help but the police don't fucking believe her. She never asked you guys for help, only to talk. Also I highly doubt you're older than them. You cant claim that XD

Big same, I think I finally sucked most of the dopamine out of it though, I haven't consumed it in anything other than art on pinterest in a while I think I read one of the books a while ago but I didn't know there were more?? I'm off to investigate

spoke too soon

oh wow what a great defense totally didn't ignore everyone else's points

Here's what I'm going to be rude about: The fact that Rae is pretending to be my friend after she is extremely disrespectful and bitchy to tons of people on this site. AND the fact she keeps spreading my story around, which you have no right to do. I don't even know you Rae. Wtf

Imagine being Rae and not nuking your account O.O

and a very valid thing to be rude about
i'm really sorry you have to deal with this shit, Space. people suck, and the people who spread your story around without your consent are especially shitty

Indeed. It's certainly funny that Rae is claiming that Emi is toxic for pointing out exactly what you did, Space. It sounds like she's a deeply insecure person.

Space, that sounds really awful and I'm sorry you have to deal with her

On another note, though, I wanna ask you guys what you think of Disney blocking Peter Pan, Dumbo, and Aristocats for any kids who are seven or under? Because I think Disney is overstepping their boundaries with this. It is not, should not, and never will be Disney's job to police what kids on the platform are watching. It is the parents job, and for Disney to think they can step in and do this is not right. Like honestly, if I had a seven year old or younger sibling that wanted to watch one of those three movies, but couldn't on their account, fuck yeah I'd let them use mine, I watched all of those movies at seven or younger. I think that yeah, Disney should include warnings that the movies contain outdated cultural depictions, and yeah, they should say they would never do it now, but that doesn't mean they get to block the movies from being seen by kids under seven. It sets a bad precedent and I don't like it. It is not the streaming service's job to decide who gets to watch what, that is up to the parents and no one else

they should have a lil clip at the beginning where an adult explains whats harmful about a certain depiction or joke in the movie, and says that you can still enjoy it, just make sure you know that those specific things arent okay anymore. and then boom
