You're simply too young.
No offense, dear, but you're a prime example of when parents expect technology to raise their children.
O so you think I'm some retard who is gonna go to a website that I shouldn't!? I go online freely because my parents have my trust...and THAT! is what makes me better then you...
Nothing happens 4 no reason...you got your own pc @fter high school maybe because you weren't trusted enough by your parents...The reason my parents trust me is because I have 2 cat's...1 rabit...i used to have 1 mouse!(he died of old age)...AND i have 1 dog!!!...I take care of all those animals!! plus i have a niece who is only 5 months old and is almost crawling because I taught her how...did you do better in your child hood?

Originally posted by Silver Stardustthis is the exact same reason my daughter who is 12(soon to be 13 years old) is monitored . no , i dont stand at her shoulder but before she is online i know exactly where she is going . i want to make sure the site she visits is safe and age appropriate . its to easy for a child to get wraped up in online activity . at that age they arent aware of the preditors that lurk around the next page.Xana -- Because the internet is not a safe place for kids. You have no idea who it is you're really talking to. How do you know people are really who they say they are? You don't. Surely you've heard of all the stories on the news about people getting arrested for pretending to be someone else online and arranging to meet kids. It's for your own safety that you should be monitored while online at your age.
when she turns 13 she wants to join kmc or another site similar to this one...im still thinking about it.....im not sure thats a good idea .
i started usin' the PC when i was like 12, without monitoring, but my mom wouldnt let me go in chatrooms, my mom's pretty liberal, but she hates chatrooms, her bestfriend's duaghter met a guy on the net and they agreed to meet, the guy druged the girl and raped her and left her near a hospital 🙁 i kinda agree with my mom about chatrooms, but she's like Totally OK with KMC cuz noby here asks personal things or to meet each oother that kind of stuff is just a place for cool ppl to hang out 😎

Me not trusted by my mother...that's rich...😆
Number one, I'm not saying you're a retard or anything, stuff happens all over the internet. You could be on what you think is the safest site on the net and something could still happen.
And my mother trusts me plenty. I didn't get a computer until high school graduation because I didn't NEED my own computer before that. I'm not one of those spoiled little brats that gets whatever she wants. I only needed my own computer recently because I'm going to college now. I have done nothing but earn my mom's trust. I'm 18, and I don't go out and drink or smoke or do drugs or have sex like so many people my age do. I graduated high school with honors and a 32 on the ACT, am a state scholar (something only open to those who were in the top 5% of high school seniors in the entire state of Illinois) and my test scores put me in the top 1% of all students my age in the entire US. I have been in advanced and honors classes all my life, and took AP during my senior year. I'm the oldest of 5 children, including an almost three year old sister and one year old brother who I take care of a lot. I have three dogs and a cat, and over the years I also had two other dogs, another cat, a goldfish, and a hamster. I'm allowed to have a lock on my bedroom door. But apparently, according to you, my mom doesn't trust me since I just got my own PC. 🙄

clapping i*congratulations*! Your in the club!
(and I said "<MAYBE> because your parents didn't trust you"😉
No, I'm not mad at you, I don't hate you (or young people), I don't think you should die or anything. Like I said, I'm only 18, so I'm still pretty young myself. I just disagree with kids your age doing things like going online unsupervised. And I know you said your parents trust you, and you do sound like a pretty good kid. But my mom puts it best: "It's not you that I don't trust, it's the other people out there." I guess I probably shouldn't have been so defensive about your post to me, since you've only been here a month and don't know me. And I also tend to come off as sarcastic and kinda harsh 😬
