As technology in the cyberspace has been growing rapidly in recent times, we live in the information-oriented society now. And the internet has become the most useful communication and education tool. However, there are existed some good and bad things, and there is no any restriction for people using it. These conditions may cause serious risks for the internet users, especially children and teenagers if they use it without parenting controls. I will discuss some problems related to the use of internet by children and teenagers and also give solution to tackle the problems concerning the serious risks. So I will explain why it should not be banned by parents.
Sometimes children can do some bad things such as watching a violence, playing games, and chatting with friends a lot. However, parents can control children’s online activity not banning it. Instead, by making a good circumstance, it will be easier to keep an eye on children`s online activity. Furthermore, it is important to build trust with children and teenagers regarding being responsible for using the internet safely. Thus, I think adults should not ban children from using internet
First, parents lost the trust from their children. In fact, the one thing that every parent should give their child is trust. Without trust, children will never have the confidence in himself or herself to be true to others. When parents switch off the internet, children will find ways to get on it. Because they feel it is unfair. So they may not be doing it in front of you but they will always be trying to find the passwords, keys and ways to get themselves on it secretly. It isn't like if parents shut off the internet at their home, their children have it gone out of their life. Children can get on the internet at other places like school or a friend's place or even internet cafes. After all, parents and children will not trust each other. Thus, parents also respect their children`s thoughts and behaviors.
Second, Children are missed a chance to get information and educate. The internet is a beneficial tool for children to improve their reading skills and has a huge resource of information . Think of it as the Library. Just like there are good books, bad books and inappropriate books, so has the internet. There is every reason for our children to be on the internet. Actually, children can explore new ideas, gather information for the topics that interest them; they can look for more references for what have been taught at school; find easier methods to understand a topic and they can virtually travel the world understanding multi cultures and histories. They also get entertainment in the form of videos and games and then there are their chances to communicate and stay in touch with their families and friends. When parents switch off the internet for them, all this is hindered. So, parents are disadvantaging their children in a skill that they need to survive in today's world.
Someone says parents ensure their children`s safety by banning the internet. But I don`t agree with it. I know that their main concern is always the safety of their children. Safety, whether it is online or offline, should always be talked about at home. It is highly possible for parents to avoid talking about internet safety when you ban the internet. When they have taken their children off the internet and they are going off to their friends place to surf the net, there is every chance that they may become victims to internet predators. So banning the internet to protect children is useless. Instead, it is better to keep an eye on them while they’re using the internet not banning it.
In conclusion, although thousands of unwanted materials are available on the internet, there are large amounts of educative material for the children. So, Parents can monitor their children’s online activities and it can be of help to classify which is a needed information. Through this, children can study hard and obtain help from the internet. Thus, it is better to allow children to use the internet rather than ban the internet. Parents are only keeping an eye on their children while they’re using the internet. This is the only solution to maintain relationship between parents and children, and maximize a strong point of the internet using.
