She has friends who have 'done it all'...Even though I am elder to her by just 9 years, I feel as if I belong to her mother's generation...

I dont know whether I can click the like button to this...

But, if the child knows the repercussions and doing it all... then one should think about it...

whether the child knows the repercussions or doesnt know...definitely it is going to effect her future...
may be I am thinking in the old school...😳

because i "was" a big tv buff..bt this happened when i gave my 10th boards and with my bro also..i guess it was a parents instinct of making sure that we didnt waste our time..

emmm...i had no restrictions abt using net from my parents side ...bcs they trust me...and from childhood I have very few friends...so this tv,game,computer was part of my life!!

And I was very serious abt my study...so my result came out good always! But when I got admitted in medicine...my life is terribly worse...hardly got time to chat...or anything! 🤢😭😭

well very few are like you.😊

As long as you know your priorities ... no problem...😊

If ever I would have said- ''I'm crazy for a DAILY SOAP'' before November 2011, anybody, who knew me, could have laughed it off... I was always a Doordarshan one... My mother believed, we sisters won't study, if we get cable, n hence, DD par kya n kitne dekhoge?

Now, lets come to the internet part... I first surfed net, when I gave class 10th board exams... N just bcoz my frnds wanted, I came on Orkut... But, my elder sister always kept her eyes on my whereabouts... But soon, after 2-3 months, I really got busy at my personal front, then had no net access, n now, I dont even remember my orkut, Id-password...

As to fb, that I created even after clearing my 12th... My friends kept pestering, to keep put, I always used to visit fb very few times, that too, in months... (Now-a-days, ki baat alag hai... Hehehaha!)

as to this forum, well I came here when I was about to be 20... Isse pehle, IF kis bird ka name hai, ye bhi nahi pata tha...

As to my own juniors, well I always felt, my youngers are smarter n faster than us... I still remember, I was either in class 10th or 12th, when we heard of a girl, in class 8th, who's pregnant...
I was hell shocked hearing that... N I had said- I still don't get in the procedure, n these juniors, have already stepped into these things...

I myself landed with such a girl, who happened to be my bench mate in my last year at school...
Soon after our 12th board exams, she called me to tell, she 'did it all' n wanted to tell further... I was so pissed off... I told her to stop it then n there... I from then, have severed all ties from there on...

Ufff!!! My head still spins thinking wat the world has become...

The old order changeth giving place to the new
As someone working with adolescents this is a common problem , I think children should be given good values but don't put too many restrictions , as forbidden fruit is always the tastiest, also they do a lot of things because of peer pressure , trust them , keep an open mind , that even if they make a mistake stand by them , hence I think give the liberty but talk to them always leave the channels of communications open

Mudra ji I have crossed that age limit a good 20 years back😆,during our teenage days,only DD was there,so no problem,we were allowed only an hour or so of tv daily,but times have changed and how,my son is 12 years of age and he is not too much into shows but he does watch Tarak Mehta daily and ofcourse he is online on Fb and all,what I think is best in these days that instead of putting too many restrictions,make them see what is good and what not I mean we cant possibly stop them from using internet altogether ,so best is to be around when they are online,thats what I do,I am with him always and try to be interactive,take interest in his friends,so that i know what is going on in his life.

Really, when I was 8 Internet didn't existed at least was not that common...
