I've been using the internet since I was like.. 11. I started out with AOL (Kids Only) which SUCKED.. then slowly moved to Young Teen (also sucked) then Mature Teen for like a month, then we switched cuz my parents finally realized how much AOL sucked. Soon after, I had unlimited access to the internet.. and I can tell you one thing.. I AM NEVER GOING BACK.
I know more about the internet and computers than both of my parents combined and they know that, so they don't worry. I do agree that little kids should have somewhat limited access to the internet or they should at least be taught how to use it correctly and safely first. Most people around my age (15 and up I guess) are mature enough to use the internet without causing much trouble.. there are exceptions... but none of them here thankfully!
