Parent's issue on youtube!

Link to us : http://snipr.com/u7228

Hey everyone, today my post is going to be about what our parents think about us using Youtube. As much as it has been said that youtube is popular amongst everyone.... young and old, Youtube is mostly used by youngsters and sometimes missused by them too.

Based on several articles that i have read, parents are most worried about the adult content on Youtube. Youtube however was not created to promoste adult movies or even encourage users to upload them, but there are still people out there who will. Teenagers that aren't aware of consequences would upload unappropriate videos of sometimes themselves or others.

Now, Youtube has done its best to limit those videos to 18 and above and to allow users to flag them as inappropriate. The solution that most of these articles came up with was for the parents to have a casual talk about the negative sides of youtube. Parents should not stop them from using Youtube for there are many educational aspects of it.

Parents should speak to their underaged children of how Youtube should not be used to view adult content and to not lie about their age when registering. So guys, do you'll think that by talking to their children, parents can get them to stop missusing youtube?...

If not what would be the best way for parents to make their children understand about the bad aspects of youtube?.... Looking forward to your views and comments! till then Byee =)

  1. personally, it is quite difficult to control users especially underages teenagers watch unappropriate videos from youtube. Parents will just have to do thier part, educate their kids what is right or wrong, even if they watch it, they would know it is good or bad for them.

  2. i think that point is so true!,underaged users should learn how to differentiate between whats good or bad. it would make it easier for the parents to then teach them. But the problem is teenagers are very secretive about it, that should change. thanx for the comment =)
