[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 434065, member: 6705"] I read your post earlier, and decided to think about it for a bit... I don't know the entire situation, of course. However - I'm pretty laid back, though my kids consider me the strict parent. A 14-y/o boy will be interested in sex... Unfortunately, most of what's available online isn't appropriate for his age. Extreme stuff gives him a skewed sense of what is "normal" and acceptable in real life. There are free programs you can install that will block certain websites. However, the best thing to do for now - if you have Windows - is to use the Content Advisor. Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Content - and follow the wizard to lock it down. Do this when he isn't looking. And if he is using your profile, he can change it. This is easy to fix though - create a profile for him. Make it LIMITED - cannot change settings or install programs. Kids can get around this stuff, but it's a start - and it's already there. And... What do the "experts" consider "too strict"? Teenagers push boundaries. If you put them in a box, they'll try to get out. Even "normal" teens. But there do have to be some boundaries - I know this all too well. Let us know more about your son, and your family... We aren't doctors, but we can give you our ideas, at least - always a good starting place. ...And WELCOME!!! [/QUOTE]
