parents and the net


Today we watched a video about parents blaming the Internet for bad social behavior. I felt that this video was a way for parents to blame someone else for there bad parenting. in psychology we call that mecanismic. this is when a person do not take responsibility for there own action. there were some good points but for the most part kids had these problems way before the Internet became this big. Yes there is a lot of info on the net, but how a parent teaches there child to deal with the info is the turning point. I don't feel the net or games stop young adults from doing other activities such as playing basketball or other sports. there are pro gamers who are ranked in the world in sports, it all depends on the parent. people who tend to try and stay away from things like facebook and myspace are just scared of change.
