Do You Think Teens and kids should be sheltered and be supervised on everything?

okay some ppl think that kids and teens should be sheltered from many things,(for example, violent music,movies rated over pg,(you people disgust me), video games with any vioilence at all.just for a few examples) you people disgust me. Violence is gonna happen no matter what, by kids and teens, I mean kids that are 12 or 11.I mean honestly, let them watch a pg 3 movie. let them listen to music with some swears, because i bet thy have heard it all before. Pronably from the bad kids at school. And for games, don't watch them play computer games, that really is gonna ruin the gaming experience. No really. It does. Your gonna make their life miserable when they are teens because they can't listen to music with swears, all their friends will and they will be made fun of to a high decree and they might be a loner.And shelter them from the computer or stand over their shoulder when they go on the internet, juust no. NO! that's just wrong. What do you think of people that think

No, they need to learn what the world is like before they are kicked out into it.
Reply:I believe that teens are perfectly capable of deciding whether something is right or wrong; good or bad
Reply:No not a good idea at all, they won't deal with things well if their sheltered or protected constantly. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with things I've done but my children weren't sheltered and they've grown into responsible, respectable adults and parents. My grand children aren't either, my 9 year old grandson has been watching horror movies with me since the day he was born, I started on the real old ones, not like Nightmare on Elm Street but he and his younger sister both watch them now. They know it's just a movie, not real and there's nothing to be scared of. If their exposed to things like that and the violent movies and it's constantly reinforced that "it's just a movie" they'll be fine.
Reply:Yes. Curiosity killed the cat. Satisfaction is getting the right answers from your elders that love and care for you (children.) My children were not sheltered but my eye was on them. You can't completely hold back growth but all in due time. Some children know the basics and some are never taught until the street gets them. Then they are in the gutter! Be easy. You'll have a life time to learn the sins of the world so appreciate the heavenly peace of family life while it lasts.
Reply:i thought hitler was gone... we dont live in a world where everyone has to be the same . like in privite schools
Reply:I dont think you should shelter you kids from everything. They gotta live and learn you just gotta hope you raised them right to make there own decisions or else when they get in the real world they are gona be in trouble. you cant be with your children 24/7!!!
Reply:Until they have developed some scruples yes. I've never told my kids they can't watch anything...but I don't allow them to watch anything with SEX. They have no business as teens getting into SEX especially all the garbage that's around today. We've walked around half naked to know our body parts are different so it's no news to anyone or will it be a shock in future. They need to learn respect. I made sure they knew EVERYTHING, the good and the bad and I'm sure they get a glimpse of porn here and there regardless but they know how I feel and respect that. They have many other interests and goals that they don't waste time on stupid things. Gory violence and horror doesn't interest any of us, and we don't watch it. You can't escape violence it's everywhere, but it's not something they would actively choose to watch.





Other rules: no drugs, drinking and smoking. My kids are intellectual, athletic and do well in school, The only other thing I watch closely are their friends. Only good friends are allowed...if they are trouble...bye bye.
Reply:Not everything.
Reply:no, eventually they're going to hear it all. what's the point? then they are sent into culture shock when they go out into the real world and don't know how to handle themselves. I do keep my child from violence, because it give him nightmares. i don't care about the cussing. hmmmmm.... no porn, that' s not healthy for children. oh shoot, maybe they should be kept in a closet until they're 18.
Reply:I think that some things should be monitored. IE parental control on internet. Some games with violence and stuff is a bit much for an 11 year old ex. The San Andreas game.. idk what its called but it has alot of bad stuff in it.





And I'm a teen and I don't listen to music with swearing and I don't swear.





I think kids and teens should be sheltered until they can determine whats appropriate for their age. And then you won't feel like you're missing out on anything because you know whats good for you.





But I am with you on the PG-13 part. I watched movies like that when I was 10 but with a parent or someone older than me.
Reply:No they shouldent thier not all as immature as you.


Didnt have time to read your q.
Reply:No, they should learn that life can be cruel, mean and unfair. They have to learn how to deal with things
Reply:Are you schizo? You start a question and then keep interjecting "you people disgust me" like there was someone else in the room you were having a conversation with.
Reply:i agree w u
Reply:I think certain kids should be, I'm 12 and my parents let me watch TV14 shows, because they know I can handle it, that I won't repeat the swear words. But other kids, like some at my school, they say curses because they think it's cool, they don't know the meaning of the words. For example, boys at school always say the N-word at the end of every sentence, they don't realize the significance of that word and what it means. I think parents should learn their kids boundaries and go from there.
Reply:yes because the younger ones are losing grip of what is right. however, since teens are just as human as us, they should be allowed with to know/feel the reality today still. it's just a matter of parents-children bonding, being open, and most of all maturity
Reply:Nope
Reply:well....not on everything just on some things!
Reply:nah
Reply:no, go ahead and let them ruin their lives and learn their own lessons, its better than being repressed and feeling trapped in your own body later on, theyll thank you as long as you arent locked up for child neglect
Reply:no
Reply:i think when youre a father, you'll rethink your postition on this. i know i sure changed my views about kids when mine hatched!
Reply:Just some what supervised. There is so many perverts and freaks in the world today!
Reply:i agree.. but with some you have to shelter some..like with my son if he watches the news he has nightmares the world is a cruel place and they will find that out soon enough so why push it. i mean why does a child need to know about the raping,torturing of anybody.. as far as the games my kids play any game as long as there is no sexual innuendo.. cuz i tell em its not real .. i hear what you are saying i don't censor what music or games or movies (unless it has sexual content)i know kids have to be kids but there is a line...
