Unaware Parents



As at teen once myself, I did some pretty crazy stuff which my parents, 
peers, friends, relatives............... were oblivious about.  I had good 
grades in high school and that was all that really mattered.  In other words 
as long as I had good grades, I was left alone.  Sound familiar to any of you?

I do not feel the parents are to blame in the Littleton incident.  However, 
they do hold a certain responsibility for their children.

Do you really know what your children are looking at on the Internet?  My 
teen broke all the codes to get on any site she wanted.  The blocks 
(especially AOL) are a joke.  And, she is not computer literate.  For all you 
parents that have children who play in chat rooms, they are learning a lot 
more than you think.  For example:  If I was a teen and had all the parental 
controls on my computer, I would go to a chat room and ask someone to send me 
a link to the site I wanted to visit.  Walla.............. Broken blocks!  
They do not work.
