Growing up online ;)

Part 1 Internet at home

Having internet a home is a HUGE privilage, but I think the reason they did this movie is for the parents to sometimes check what their kids are doing. I don't mean they have to be the entire time right behind them while they are in the computer. The producers may be parents that experience all those kind of situations with their childs. The main audience I think is the parents and then all the teens. We all have to be concern of what we are doing in the internet or online. Also we need internet in one way or other. We use it too for doing researching for school or for a page a teacher told us to look and then tell them what was about or something like that. Obviously after doing the research and your homework, you may use the computer however you want.

Part 3 Social Networking -- Keeping in Touch

Fighting or saying junk to other people in the internet is a way of demonstrating that you are weak and can't afford your problems like a mature person. If you have something to say about a person, go straight to him or her and tell them what you think or feel. Don't be mean. Say it with respect and don't make them feel bad. Also a bad thing about fighting online is that you don't really know if the person you are talking to is really him or her. You don't know if someone else got into their email and started to write all that crap and everything. Maybe at the next day you'll see him or her and you'll be mad at him becasue or nothing or maybe that's what your friend thinks because he doesn't really know what's giong on or what you are talking about. It's really stresfull and stupid.

Part 5 Parenting, Privacy and Control

It's okay for the parents to check sometimes what we are doing but not always. We need privacy too. We don't have to tell everything we do to our parents. We have secrets as they do too, and its not like if they are going to tell us all the things they do or did before. There's sertain stuff we would tell our parents, stuff we think is appropiated for them. They have to conform with that because I preffer to hear something rather than nothing. The parents need to understand that we are not giving them our passwords cause maybe it's not just stuff about us but also about our friends that no one else needs or can see. They have to unesrtand we have really private things, and that we don't want to tell them cause they are our secrets and we wont' share them with anybody.
