Somethings are taken away from the underaged for perfectly good reasons. Alcohol can kill them, tobacco is too easily addicting to them. Voting is too easily influenced to the less-educated.
This also is a truth, the internet is not something you can ever rely on. The internet gives kids freedom? Freedom is easily abused and mangled.
Ah, yes. Concerning the claim that it's "the teenagers, and yes, the stupid little highschoolers" that spend the most time online. Studies disagree. It's actually college students and yes, the 18+ crowd, that spends the most time online. Back in high school I had a place to record my thoughts too. It was called paper. They sell it all bound up into books for just this purpose. If you want to share it, do something useful. Join your school's newspaper staff or debate team. I could always get my friends' advice and opinions too. That amazing invention was called a "telephone."
Of course, they require proper grammar in such school activities; so if to speak properly requires being an english professor, 99.9% of us need not apply.(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
