Call me old fashioned if you like......

I was showing a female colleague of mine something from FB yesterday, something in my opinion is disturbing, enticing, decaying and can easily expose our children(especially our teens) to some degree of danger.

As of us FB users are aware, there is a kind of alert telling us that there is someone that you might know. Just the other day, i clicked on just the one like that and as i was browsing through her wall, pictures and comments, and as i was whiling my lunch time away, i then clicked on her other friends and they all have few things in common.

The pictures of all these beautiful ladies (mostly in their 20s) are so salacious, sexy and very enticing and most of them expose their deep throat cleavages, some clad in hot bikini and some are striking uncompromising poses.

I took a little awhile,just to browse through the contents of these ladies, some of them posted daring invite, such as " looking for sex" " sex with married man" " sex is love" " if men can have it, why can't we have it to" etc.

One thing really shocked me was that in the collum of "religious view" all of them share the same sect, they wrote in Chines, loosely translated in English should be something like this, " Common Happiness Sect" and it got me thinking could this be another burgeoning religious sect or society that promotes free sex?

I was telling my female colleague, what if it was my teen boy who was inundated with these pages after pages of sexy ladies with all these enticing invites when he was checking up his FB, what if at his age, one part of him was curious about all things sex,another part of him was telling him to go ahead and add them all up.

At this current age, parenthood is more complex than the time of my parents', on one hand, we say we must respect their privacy, on the other hand, we are so scared that they could be exposed to all those undesirable elements.

Sometimes, i would really think, even a matured adult could fall prey to internet scam, victimized by internet prankster. ladies of caliber could be duped into false relationship so flawlessly orchestrated by "casanovas" ,just think about it, how vulnerable our children can be.

P/S : Pray for our children, keep them in the hands of the Lord"

  3. All kinds of "religions" these days... I'm ok with them if they're good and guides the followers along the "right path" but some should be avoided. With proper teaching and guidance from small, I think our children should be fine...and safe.

  8. Cyber world is very deceiving. The girls/guys put up their most compromising pic in order to increase 'friends', unknowing they are exposing themselves too much. They follow the trend / culture / religious blindly and for the sake of being accepted by certain groups.

    Add your sons into your FB friend list. Add their friends too, if you can. Join their world and get updated. At least you know what they are up to.

    You are very open with your sons and treat them like an adult. Hence I believe they are growing mature to handle their life :D

  9. I agree with you on parenthood is getting more complex nowadays. We hope that we can be an open minded and liberal parents, at the same time we are also worrying of their choice of lifestyle, interest, friends and so on.

  11. These issues are very disturbing to us parents. During our days, we watch TV and learn from Waltons, Little House on the Prairie. At home, parents teach us and at school, teachers also teach us moral and virtues. The challenge in the current world of instant gratification is to teach our kids how to 'think right and to do what is right' and this is the most difficult job for any parent.

    P/S: TQVM for your comment on my blog and the offer to add me to your blog list. I appreciate it very much. I'm following you too.
