One of the topics we had to talk about in class was whether or not we are bothered by the amount of "kids" on sites like Facebook. By kids, I am referring to the ones who are not yet 13 years old, and therefore technically not supposed to have an account. I do not have as much of a problem with the fact that they have an account on Facebook, simply because I don't have to deal with all the dumb things they post. I have my own friends' posts to do that. The only problem I have with it is that they don't always know what they are doing, and can be susceptible to online predators. However, I think that's more of an issue for parents, and there's not really much of anything I can do to babysit other people's kids.
It also doesn't bother me that people actually take the time to make celebrity accounts, or even one for their dog or iguana. Once again, I don't have to directly deal with that, and if they want to waste their time on that more power to them.
Going back to the young'uns, though, I do have one issue of them being where they don't belong, and I think anyone my age with a PS3 or Xbox 360 will agree with me; Apparently 98% of the people that play violent shooting games online are children 13 or younger, or at least it seems like it. Making matters worse, they all apparently have headsets, so I have no choice but to sit and listen to them chat with each other and insult my mother with words I didn't know existed until I was much older than they are. I understand why they like it so much, when I was younger I always wanted to do what my older cousin did. But I also enjoyed reading and doing other kid stuff, instead of pretend shooting people all day after I got out of school. That's grown-up stuff.
