Kids can be mean to each other, and devious…what’s new mom and dad?

Getting older can have advantages such as having heard it before. Such is the subject of this article. Since all of us were kids we all know about the experience and what I speak about.

People are people, to include kids.

Technology does change. For example, some private academies have wi-fi umbrellas over the campus to help teach kids about computers.

All this technology, after listening, is that it offers new ways for kids to be kids, often being mean to each other. Nothing has changed, but for the method to be mean to each other. Insults to egos, sex, drugs, and standards are the norm. Thank goodness for parents who monitor all this, and can talk to their kid.

I am prejudiced about young girls’ vulnerability in their formulative years, in all means. But this also applies to boys who go through the same dimulative process. Bottom line for this article, all the computer type stuff we parents advance for our kids does not include the costs and problems of kids being mean to each other. Again, all that has changed is ways in how to be mean, kid to kid.

And then is there is technology gone awry another way, as it applies to kids. Even in private Christian academies in Tennessee, kids are required to turn off their cell phones to prevent them from using text messaging during exams to pass answers.

Is anything new in this report?
