LOL! *kangie slaps herself*
Ok, i promise in future i will check what the newest topic is
RIGHT
as for MSN chatrooms, i dont think its such a good idea that they are closed, but that doesnt make it all bad.
The problem is that the children (no offence!) will see all the media hype about paedophiles and suchlike, and will be taught that chatrooms are bad. and so they will NOT tell their parents, and things could get worse.... banning them only makes it worse. Children should be encouraged to talk about who theyve met to their parents, not told that the people COULD wanna... hurt them. *sighs* i think the internet has way too bad a reputation, believe me i know. i went through HELL when someone i know told a teacher at skl that i was meeting up with some guy id met over the net (this was a year ago) and the school FLIPPED and rung my parents(who already knew that i wasnt meeting him... cos he lived like, 10,000miles away). now i know they thought they were protecting me, but it was all perfectly innocent, and people shouldnt fear the unknown. alot of technophobic parents hate the internet because they dont always understand it....
anyhow, i shall be quiet now im sure im making no sense....
