Do any other older girls have web filtering software on thier computer?

@itskat001 have they loosened up a little?

@GirlSerendipity when I was your age I had no internet, but I am sure my mom would have blocks many sites too

@itskat001 want to chat?

@anderst Then why?

@obedientdaughter - yeah thats what I think. But my parents want me to be safe online which is why I have it

@KimberleyAnne I am happy that my mom and sister do not know of NetNanny

@KimberleyAnne NetNanny How did it work?

@millielovesapples He doesn't know about this phone

@Suesinglemom really? For you or for other people?

@Suesinglemom what would you block than?

@SW-User it's in your own best interest, there is a lot of really unpleasant stuff online which your parents want to protect you from

@dunpender Do parents ever really ever stop wanting their children to be safe! It is not because one has “most” of the rights of a grown up at 16, which is a questionable statement in itself, that someone is not going to be endangered in the world, real or virtual.

Leaving a person to fend for themselves in a dangerous and often perverted and dark world is not parental love.

I understand that teenagers should not be coddled but letting them lose in the world without some supervision, guidance and conversation should not stifle them and their need for exploration.

As a father you did not have to deal with the internet or the potential problems that it can bring. Times change and not only for the better. Parents who take the responsibility of being a parent seriously understand that, and take measures to protect their children. Even if that protection means filters on their computers. Mum and dad have my support! @dunpender

@SW-User 17 Ma'am
