How young is too young

I know a 12 year old who has given her phone number to strangers on the interent...strangers that she either met in a forum like this or from myspace.

Now, I've given my number out to people before, but Im a grown adult. Isnt 12 years old too young to determine who you should give your number too?

Her parents are freaked out and want to take her phone/internet completely. Are they being too over protective?

I know being over protective can be counter productive in a teenager so im just wondering.

I had over protective parents so I'm on the fence. 12 sounds too young to be giving numbers to strangers. But I also know that strangers to some people = friends on the interent. Just because you meet them online does not make them strangers. But can a 12 year old determine who is safe/creepy/lying from the honest people trying to make friends? I dont know

I would take away my 12 year old's phone AND hands for doing that.
 
CindyLou you are joking right?

TWELVE?

A twelve year old isn't capable of handling the longterm rammifications of most of thier actions, certainly not that they could end of seriously harmed (did you hear about all of the teen girls that got murdered by a sicko they met on myspace) for giving out their number or texting posting pics of themselves nude or seminude or seductive poses to others/on the net. If that child is giving out her number, trust me she is texting/posting up pics that will be circulated FOREVER.

They are INCAPABLE so the parents are supposed to be up in their business monitoring what they are doing and who they are doing it with. Talking to their friends and meeting them. No computers in their rooms and show them all of the terrible news stories about the kids/young adults and even full grown adults that end up raped and murdered because of naivite.
 
If I have a daughter...30 is about the right age--provided she has at least 5 black belts and packs a .380, throwing stars, and a machete.

When I was 12/13 I was going to the mall, strutting around and flirting with older boys. I gave out my number all the time. Nothing ever happened besides a few long, boring phone conversations with stoned teenaged boys. I know there is a difference, as she doesn't know exactly who she is dealing with when meeting people via the internet, but if she has any sense she probably wont get into an abnormal amount of trouble. When I was a kid and was going to hang out with a new boy I would pick a public place and bring all of my hyperactive yapping friends. That seemed to keep me out of too much trouble.
 
i dont know why alot of women have to be so fucking slutty...

its like their pussy is a curse and once they get the taste of a cock they will ruin lives to get it...

o well everyone loves a slut ....

The fact that you had sense enough to have your friends w/you and be out in the open in a VERY public place tells me that you were somewhat aware of the troubles that could befall you. But the whole internet thing is a bit more *unreal*, that is, until one is *right there*.

IMHO children don't need to be KEPT from the internet. Instead a parent needs to spend A LOT of time educating their kid as they will NEED the internet to get along in the world.
 
What you should do, Cindy, really, is just have her parents read this thread.

They may elect to home school their child and then send her to bootcamp but c'est la vie :whatever:

no matter whether u "ban" the phone use or "condone" it, shes gunan get fucked up in one way or another as a consequence.

better than letting guys line up to analize you in the public restroom like happened at the local middle school 5 years ago
 
way too young cindy! i remember when i was that young (6-7 years ago) i was trying to talk to 16 year old girls in AOL chat, but the

truth of the matter is i was 95% most likely talking to 45 year old men. the internet is a dangerous weapon. If its on AIM or facebook

i'd say its fine. Don't creep on your daughter or son though. they will most likely HATE you for it. my mom was always creeping on me

and checking history spying when i hooked up with someone for the first time, and snuck into the computer room at night to watch porn.

let her some privacy, but MAKE SURE, if shes giving someone her number, you know who they are and okay with them. have her show you a

picture of them. if they can't give one or its sketchy or not one of her friends for any of the matter, tell her NO WAY. be protective,

but not a spy. thats my input. and im a kid kind of from her generation give or take 6-7 years. good luck!
 
LOL I forgot I asked this question.

My parents are Sunday School Jr. High teachers. Parents go to them for advice. Sometimes they talk about it with me. I was a troubled teen. lol My poor parents had plenty of experience with wild girl teens, they had two at the same time.

12 years old just seems so young. Even I , at 12 was still a little bit a part of the nuclear family and would have never given my number out to people on the interent, but I know thats what kids are doing now.
 
are you really asking if 12yo is too young to give your phone # to strangers on the internet?!

pedo_bear9_jpg9db79820-ffb8-4ba6-b2da-f306a99b056f.jpg

no shit. why is this even a question. take that kids computer and phone for about a year before you see her on the 6 o'cock news.
 
I said I thought it was too young.

I know thats what all the kids are doing...but it still seems pretty dangerous. Yet, not all parents get all worked up over it.

Iggy and Subby - I am not about keeping your kids from the internet. IMHO that is THE WORST THING a parent could do as this would cause a child to:

become more curious
become more rebellious
become more ignorant
and most inclined to push it to the limit just because they WANT to

IMHO education is key.

CindyLou you are VERY CORRECT in your opinion that 12 is too young. My kids (now ages 16 1/2 thru 12) had computers in their kindergarten classes! So if I had kept them away from the internet, with the lack of supervision and parenting they have had in the last 2 1/2 years I am near certain one of them would be dead by now. Truth be told, I am really surprized they are not worse off then *I think* they are. Of course, I am making this assessment not having anywhere near the information required to realize the full extent of what they are doing. I only have enough info to be TERRIFIED. :worried:
