Then I see what other teenagers are doing online, getting into fights with others on profile pages, posting videos of an illegal night out, or even plotting suicide, I have to question the better judgment of our generation. That’s how I feel I should be treated, and how others should too. I feel as though the judgment of the child, teenager, or Internet user in general has to come into play beforehand. When you watch what certain parents do, you have to ask if they’re doing the right thing, or if they’re just too controlling. Then you proceed to spend endless hours on the computer doing what looks and feels like nothing.

It soon becomes a habit, to check your E-Mail, Myspace, Facebook, blog, forum, homepage, tabloid, and more.

Escape from boredom, and escape from reality. The Internet was always a form of escape for me, not like I actually had anything to escape from. This started me on a trend that took away that need for parental permission, and my parents felt as though I knew better than to create havoc on the Internet, even if I was still a young child. I always took note of the warnings during the commercial break of my weekly Saturday morning cartoons that clearly read “Please as parents permission before going online” to which I always obeyed and asked my mother for permission before logging onto my favorite websites. It came to me as a shock when I compared these parents to that of my own. When watching Growing Up Online I took note of certain parent’s attitudes towards the Internet and their children, and in one case, the children of everyone else’s in the community.
