It's incredibly hard for parents to intervene. Even if you ban your child from using it, since every other kid is using it, the harmful effects are still there.

It's incredibly hard for parents to intervene. Even if you ban your child from using it, since every other kid is using it, the harmful effects are still there.
The best you can do is try to explain and contextualise everything your kid might be seeing, which is very hard to do.
Also, not all parents are engaged with their kids as well as they should be. Having bad parents doesn't mean you're not worth protecting.
> Or ban having sex without the use of contraceptives if you are so keen on banning.
I'm not sure what that means.
- johnisgood 4y agoWho else would it be if not parents, the Government? How would that really go? Would we really have to provide our ID to Facebook and such? That would suck.
- JanSt 4y agoThe government checks or disallows many things, i.e. drugs. Individualism is strong in the US, but if parents sucks kids suffer.
- goatlover 4y agoThe disallowing of drugs has not fared any better than disallowing alcohol did.
- inkblotuniverse 4y agoYes, the war on drugs has been really successful. I certainly want governments doing more of that!
- swexbe 4y agoLibertarians hate to hear this but the government actually regulate lots of things, not just drugs. Many of these regulations are very successful.
- goatlover 4y agoThere's a difference between regulating and banning, or outright fighting a "war" on something. The latter causing far worse societal problems.
