general

They do not have the mental capacity to be skeptical enough

For internet existence

my brother is skeptical enough in that he will come ask me before he does literally anything

including hitting ok to updating windows

Most kids aren’t like that

I also feel like, kids don't have that much to do on the internet anyway

outside of their social circles

except post porn of themselves!

talking to their friends on Twitter/Discord/wherever

is barely "on" the internet

I feel like a good parent should monitor their kids online activity

you know what is the biggest dick move, I can't friend my brother on steam because I refuse to change my profile background

no compromise

If they’re younger

he can be my steam friend when he turns 16!

Sure I got on the internet when I was young and so did all of us

But look at how we turned out

lol

I think you teach them how to computer

I just hate the idea of handicapping your kid for the sake of "that's the way I was raised"

I wasn’t raised like that

I wasn't raised that way

to clarify

It’s how I should’ve been raised

I was just not a retard

But I also was not retarded

I guess the secret

is to just have smart kids

secret is to kidnap the smart kids for your sex dungeon

its better when they are fully aware

Well I think everyone here is probably somewhat smarter than average

so, this is 100% true

my siblings are kinda slow

I just think the average kid is dumb

And I think they just keep getting dumber

As time goes on

I felt like a late bloomer when it came to the internet

because it wasn't until I was in 2nd grade

my brother had developmental delays (he did not talk until he was almost 5), my sister is uh, retarded

>2nd grade

spooky, I am later than that

internet

before that, it was mostly pre-configured shit

I

didn't touch the internet until like

I had to BEG my parents to get us of DSL

My internet experience was mostly roblox and only roblox

6th

I believe I got on the internet in full at about 11

I felt genuinely late

in 2nd grade

until I started watching youtube

i hung around Flash game sites like maxgames or armorgames at like 7-8

and I resented not having learned more earlier

I watched YouTube starting in like

Second first grade

I didn't even get into video games until like

I mean, I am also a late bloomer with phones

I used to have a logbook

having not gotten one until grade 12

That was my original introduction to the internet

of cool websites people found

maybe 4th grade?

and would share them with my friends

I got a phone in sixth grade

Which was funnily kinda late

phones are shit

I did not even get a phone because I wanted one

my parents wanted me to have one since I was going to university

I got one "for emergencies"

I wanted to play angry birds

I hated having to text/call people

incase I got in an accident or some shit

I got a phone that I had to share with my sister in like

5th grade

thats the best bopit

but I used to DL RCT mods

from my dads work laptop
