My parents get angry
with me when they find out
that I am on social media talking to people I don't know
but I have met some of the nicest and most caring individuals
online
So someday when my son/daughter comes to me saying that
they met someone online or they have a witty/tumblr/whatever
Sure, I am going to still be protective of my child's
safety
but I am going to think back to my childhood and how
half of my friends were people I met online
and I am not going to force her/him to delete it, or stop talking
to them
but I will smile, and encourage my child to make friends
remembering how much my online friends impacted me so
positively
