A lamp is a light. So is a torch. So is anything that gives off light.
-
no I meant that you can live without electricity because there are torches... but you know what? forget it you people here think with an entire different logic than me. so yes you can just not let your kids having instagram at ten. I tried my best to tell him that there are no dangers if he handles it right.. but guys like you took over the post. Nothing I could do
-
I know what you meant, your analogy is just retarded.
-
there is no reason to be rude you know
-
I wasn't. Having a night light won't make a ten year old a closet racist because they thank it's ok. Instagram very well could, because they're young and impressionable.

Edited by DelilahKots2814: 2/10/2016 7:00:11 PMits not instagram. Its how you use instagram ;) I don't have kids yet but I will defiantly let them have instagram, Facebook etc at this age. But I will first tell them about the dangers and make some terms (like sharing the passcode with me etc). If you tell your child how instagram has to be used, it will use it the right way.

You can still come across that kind of stuff regardless of how you use it.
-
and you can still fall of the stairs as are going up, regardless how cautious you are;) but that doesn't mean that you won't climb up a ladder because of the dangers. Because you know ell that in a year or two (when she hits 12). She will have a full idea of what the word ''sex'' means. You know why? because she will hear it at school or on tv or everywhere. I don't know if you know what I mean but you can't shield your child from all the dangers. But you can protect it by telling him/her about how to take care of himself/herself.

Ok, moron, since you obviously don't understand what I'm saying I'll explain it to you. I'm not saying to try and shield your kid from everything, I'm saying let them have a little time of adolescent experiences, get to know a little bit more about the world and the people in it, and let them start coming into their own before you allow them to have stuff like instagram. I wasn't talking about things like sex you lobotomized goat. Racism, sexisim, homophobia, and shit like that is what I'm talking about. They're young and impressionable, so they don't always understand when something's wrong. and chances are you're not going to know what they're looking at most of the time unless you watch them like a hawk, and if you can't trust them to have it without checking on them constantly, then why the -blam!- are you even letting them on it?

Firstly, could you be more polite? I'm not trying to make a fight but a civilized conversation. Now, I think that we are saying the same thing. I don't think that kids should be close to things like racism or sexism from this age. But Instagram has nothing to do about it. And that's what I call "the old way of thinking". My father thought that Internet is a bad thing and kids should stay away from it because it is dangerous. But no, Internet is a tool that if you use it with the right way there is nothing bad about it. Same with Instagram and Facebook. Instagram is made to be used for communication and meeting friends online. Not for conning little girls like "old guys" think. So this guy's daughter can use Instagram for chating and communicating with friends only, if her father tell her about it. And yes, a 10 years old is mature enough to follow something simple as "don't make friends guys that you don't know a sh*t about". I mean really! If parents could show some more trust tat their children, then this generation wouldn't be as dumb as you think.
