When I was a teenager, I learned to make decisions about my own behavior. Yes, I did things that my parents disapproved of. We kept talking, and got through it with growth for us all.With my own son, my wife taught me that the important part was to maintain communication. That means listening as well as speaking. Forbidding behavior shuts down that communication.
Talk of what you want, not what you don’t want.
This! Kids aren't stupid. They can be reasoned with. In fact they *must* be reasoned with; they don't learn anything from unexplained commandments.
And does anyone else remember their own childhood? Sometimes I was rash and arrogant, sure, but I wasn't dumb, and neither were my fellow kids. We figured out for ourselves how to stay safe online.
Now I'm supposed to believe that kids these days aren't born with brains? Baloney. Of course they are.

I've actually *lost* intelligence since I was that age. I know more, I have more skill, but I have less brain power with which to use that knowledge and skill.
And that is a tragedy.
But that's why I'm not worried about the kids. They're sharp. What they don't know, they'll figure out quick. And they're resilient, in both mind and body. They'll be fine.
It's the *adults* that I'm worried about. They're the ones who're all losing their damn minds.

@gabrielesvelto Banning Billionaires from owning Billions would be the more important alternative, IMHO...

@gabrielesvelto We must disobey age segregation and ageism.
@libertyoftheforest0 @gabrielesvelto Yes! All 6 year olds should be allowed to drink & drive (although not at the same time).
