Nah....that is not from me. A few months ago we had our children delete their MySpace accounts. Two reasons. First....they lived surfing myspace. Hours upon hours....visiting their friends accounts. Second...Their account accounts just stopped being edifying. There were traces of youth culture today that were really begining to alarm both Sue and I. Well, they were all removed. Well, they were removed but.....Andrew and Justin opened up new MySpace accounts at a friends home. I have to say that Justin appears to be dumb, innocent and naive. Close to me when I was 14. But Andrew, well he is totally adopting the youth culture of today. There is no youth. They are not naive. They carry with them information and tensions that I never had as a youth and they express them and bare them for all to see on their sites. I followed Andrews site and all of the people that linked to him, and I found children that were trying to be adults. Admiring and practicing things that belong to adults, irresponsible adults. Drinking, Smoking, Drugs, and Sex. It was very disconcerting. I happened upon one of Nicks friends.
Please forgive the graphic language.

I am still processing.
Andrew and Justin are in trouble and will be punished for disobeying us. However, I am really wondering how badly the state of our world today is influencing our youth. The positive influences in their life are far different than mine. Thinking deeper, their influences are definitely much different than mine were as a youth. Well, my experience is they really let how life is affecting them be revealed on their sites. But are we right or wrong not letting our children participate in Myspace. I know the answer....NO Myspace. When we first allowed the children to have Myspace accounts we thought it was a way for us to monitor how and what they were thinking. In the end, all we found was them really soaking in today's disconcerting youth culture and rejecting any positve influences I felt we were having over them. Matter of fact....none of the words of encouragement of lessons that we have raised them with showed up anywhere on Myspace. That was the other reason we shut them down. Perhaps you have no idea what I am talking about and I am just rambling... I really am concerned.
