continuation to my response about the internet video

Today watching the video during government class it was about the internet and how it affects teenagers at this time. It causes affects at school and at house holds. You would think that all kids would understand the dangers but there are still victims being affected til this day. For example in one of the cases a thirteen year old kid killed himself because of all the verbal abuse at school and on the internet. That just shows that how serious things are of real life as in on the internet that is not face to face. It also  gives comfort to those with low self esteem. In those ways it brings to them doing things that are just disrespecting themselves like the girl posting really revealing pictures on the internet. I think more parents should take action with what their children are doing on the internet. Maybe having the computer out in the open would be safer but once they get older they can be trusted with a computer to them selves. I was also shocked to see how internet has affected kids in their education. You would think that new technology like this would be helping out students but at the same time its making them be use to fast response and learn things an easier way. That's probably why the test scored and students grades have not been improving so good throughout the U.S.
