Personally, what I find ridiculous is the fact that all it takes is one more button to press for a twelve year old to get into a site that is for 18 years old. Yes, I get that at least it's an attempt to stop them, but really it's the same as real life. I remember being ten years old and successfully lying to get into a fifteen certificate film. If you can get away with it easily, nothing is going to stop a child from that stuff. It's times like that where a parent needs to step in and inform a child of this stuff beforehand.
Oh, I agree. It's like they think because we're kids we're not smart enough to, oh I don't know, lie about our ages and click a button? People underestimate the cleverness of children. Kids are smart -- smarter than most give them credit for. Parents think they're not old enough to understand the dangers behind the internet so they don't communicate them, and that's the worst mistake they could possibly make.
You're right. At that age, kids really are underestimated in terms of intelligence. I do suppose in some cases the parents don't really know anything when it comes to the internet and stuff. My parents didn't but I had enough common sense to be cautious when it came to the internet. Plus most of the time we couldn't get the internet to work where I live so the stupid countryside did that job pretty much for us. lol...
I worked it out at 10; basically I knew that babies had half of its genes from the father and the other half from the mother, and so there had to be some way of getting those genes together, and after wondering about this I stumbled across the (correct) solution and was totally grossed out. And then I found out that I had been right, and was further grossed out.
I must've led a much more sheltered life then I've realised. Either that or I wasn't curious enough to try and work out where babies came from. Heh. ^^;
