Advice from the experienced: Don’t get rid of the internet completely cuz you don’t want your kids to feel deprived. Do what my parents did which is have a whitelist with a few approved sites (which happens to include YWN) and now i could go on a few sites and not feel deprived and have my parents happy at the same time!
Trust me i know what it’s like to be addicted to the internet! I’m gonna share something personal now: i once found a way to get around my parents filter and at first i used to just look at regular things and then i got really into it and i started doing things that i’m not even going to mention here cuz the mod’s are gonna kick me out! Then my parents found out and i’ll never forget that day! wow it was really bad! it was horrible cuz i was so addicted that i didn’t even realize and then when i didn’t have it i was so miserable and felt so empty inside! i don’t wish it on anyone! But i do have to say that i definitely miss having open internet at my disposal and i always wish i could have it back but i know it’s not happening so i try to make the best of my limited access! So for all the people out there reading this, please protect your children! i’m totally messed up because of it!
